body cavities
- spaces in the human body that contain organs

what separates one cavity from another?
membranes, ribs, muscles
68
cranial cavity
- formed by cranial bones and contains brain
- bone: cranium
69
vertebral canal
- formed by vertebral column and contains spinal cord and the beginnings of spinal nerves

70
thoracic cavity
- chest cavity
- SUBCAVITIES: plural cavity, pericardial cavity, and mediastinum cavity
71
SUBCAVITY: two pleural cavity
pleural cavity: surrounds each lung, the serous membrane (enclosing) of each pleural (right and left) cavity is the pleural sacs.
72
SUBCAVITY: pericardial cavity
surrounds the heart; the serous membrane of the pericardial cavity is the pericardium
73
SUBCAVITY: mediastinum (anatomical region)
central portion of thoracic cavity between the medial walls of the two pleural sacs and extends from the sternum to the vertebral column, and from the first rib to the diaphragm. the mediastinum contains all thoracic organs except the lungs themselves. Among the structures in the mediastinum are the heart, esophagus, trachea, thymus, and several large blood vessels that enter and leave the heart.
74
abdominopelvic cavity
extends from the diaphragm to the groin and is encircled by the abdominal muscle wall and the bones and muscles of the pelvis. the abdominopelvic cavity is divided into two portions, even though no wall separates them. the superior portion is the abdominal cavity
75
abdominopelvic subcavity: abdominal cavity
contains the kidneys, suprarenal glands, stomach, spleen, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine, and most of the large intestine. the serous membrane is peritoneum membrane
76
abdominopelvic subcavity: pelvic cavity
contains urinary bladder, portions of large intestine, and internal organs of reproduction
77

80
visceral
lines inner layer of organ
81
epigastric region
upper middle area of the abdominopelvic
82
which line separates the epigastric region and the umbilical region?
subcostal line
83
transtubercular line separates the umbilical region from which other region?
hypogastric region
