23
Q
two major cavities
A
dorsal and ventral
24
Q
dorsal cavity
A
cranial and spinal cavity / houses brain and spinal cord
25
ventral cavity
combines thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
26
cranial cavity
formed by the skull, holds and protects the brain
(located in dorsal cavity)
27
spinal cavity
protects the spinal cord
aka: vertebral canal
(located in dorsal cavity)
28
pleural cavities
There are two
each contain a lung
29
pericardial cavity
contains the heart
is medial to the pleural cavities
30
mediastinum
contains esophagus, trachea, thymus gland, aorta, and inerior vena cavae
31
serous membrane
outer lining of organs and body cavities of the abdomen and chest, including the stomach
(reduces friction of organs and walls of cavities)
32
serous fluid
secreted by epithelium of the serous membrane
33
pleura
two-layer membrane in the thoracic cavity
34
parietal pleura
out layer of membrane in the thoracic cavity
35
visceral pleura
inner layer of membrane in the thoracic cavity
36
abdominopelvic cavity
combination of the abdominal and pelvic cavities
37
peritoneum
two layer membrane in the abdominopelvic cavity
38
parietal peritoneum
outer layer of membrane in the abdominopelvic cavity
39
visceral peritoneum
inner layer of membrane in the abdominopelvic cavity
40
abdominal cavity contains
stomach, spleen, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, most of the small intestine and colon
(superior to pelvic cavity)
41
pelvic cavity contains
urinary bladder, ureters, urethra, lower part of large intestine, prt of the small intestine, female reproductive organs, and some male reproductive organs
(inferior to the abdominal cavity)
42
right upper quadrant (RUQ)
contains majority of liver, gallbladder, portion of pancreas, right kidney, portion of small intestines and colon
43
