59
What are the two internal body cavities
Dorsal and Ventral Cavities
60
What are the 2 subdivisions of the dorsal cavities?
Cranial and Spinal Cavity
61
Ventral body cavity
cavity is much larger than the dorsal cavity. It contains all the structures within the chest and abdomen, that is, the visceral organs in those regions.
62
What are the 2 subdivisions of ventral cavity?
Thoracic cavity; Abdominopelvic/ Abdominal cavity
63
Mediastinum
separates the lungs into right and left cavities
64
What contains the abdominal cavity?
stomach, liver, intestines,
65
What contains the pelvic cavity?
reproductive organs, bladder, rectum
66
Umbilical Region
is the centermost region, deep to and surrounding the umbilicus (navel).
67
Epigastric Region
region is | located superior to the umbilical region (epi =upon, above; gastric =stomach).
68
Hypogastric (pubic) Region
is inferior to | the umbilical region (hypo =below).
69
Right iliac (inguinal) Region and Left iliac (inguinal) Region
``` are lateral to the hypogastric region (iliac = superior part of the hip bone). ```
70
Right and left lumbar region
lie lateral to the umbilical region (lumbus = loins) and spinal column between the bottom ribs and the hip bones;
71
Right and left hypochondriac region
flank the epigastric region and contain the lower ribs (chondro = cartilage).
72
Oral Cavity and Digestive Cavity
The oral cavity, or the mouth, contains the teeth and tongue. This cavity is part of and continuous with the digestive organs, which open to the exterior at the anus.
73
Nasal Cavity
Located within and posterior to the nose, the nasal cavity is part of the respiratory system.
74
Orbital Cavities
The orbital cavities (orbits) in the skull house the eyes and present them in an anterior position.
75
Middle ear cavities
The middle ear cavitiescarved into the skull lie just medial to the ear- drums. These cavities contain tiny bones that transmit sound vibrations to the hearing receptors in the inner ears.
