Three main cavities (superior to inferior)
Thoracic Cavity, Abdominal Cavity, Pelvic Cavity
Cranial Cavity
The cavity at the head
Vertebral Cavity
Cavity the protects spine
Three cavities in Thoracic Cavity
Pericardial, Left and right pleural, and mediastinum cavity
The pericardial cavity is around….
the heart
The Pleural Cavities are around…
The lungs
Where is the Mediastinum
Between the two lungs (Pleural cavities)
Visceral Layer vs. Parietal Layer
Visceral lines an organ while Parietal lines a cavity
The four main parts of the Thoracic Membrane are…
The Visceral and Parietal Pleura and the Visceral and Parietal Pericardium
The Visceral Pleura
Outlines the lungs
The Parietal Pleura
Outlines the Pleural Cavity
The Visceral Pericardium
Outlines the Heart
The Parietal Pericardium
Outlines Pericardial Cavity
Two main parts of the Abdominopelvic Membrane
The Visceral and Parietal Peritoneum
The Visceral Peritoneum
Covers organs like Small Intestine, Large intestine, etc.
The Parietal Peritoneum
Outlines Pericardial Cavity
Lymphatic System
Defense System for the Body
Superior vs. Inferior
Superior is at the head inferior is at the feet
Anterior vs. Posterior
Anterior is the front and Posterior is the back
Proximal vs. Distal
Proximal is at the midline and Distal is at the outside
Medial vs. Lateral
Medial is at the center of the body and lateral is at the side of the body
Superficial vs. Deep
Superficial is at the very outside of the body and deep is at the very inside of the body
Breaking the body up: Sagittal/Midsagittal
