thoracic cavity contains

pleural cavities and pericardial cavity; region between the lungs, extending fromt he base of the neck to the diaphragm. Occupied by the heart, major blood vessels connected to the heart, the esophagus, the trachea and bronchi and the thymus

pleural cavities

lungs, pleurae

pericardial cavity

abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity

abdominal cavity

digestive organs, spleen, kidneys; peritoneum

pelvic cavity

bladder, rectum, reproductive organs; peritoneum

auricular

cephalic

entire head, includes facial and cranial regions

cervical

pectoral

breast

pubic

the area of the genitals

sacral

mediastinum

divides the thoracic cavity

pericardium

two layer membrane that surrounds the heart

visceral pericardium

inner layer of the pericardium forms the surface of the heart itself

parietal pericardium

outer layer of the heart

pericardial cavity

space that separates the visceral and parietal pericardium and lubricated by pericardial fluid

pleura

serous membrane that enfolds each lung

visceral pleura

forms the external surface of the lungs

parietal pleura

lines the inside of the rib cage

pleural cavity

space between the visceral and parietal pleura lubricated by pleural fluid

peritoneum

two-layered serous membrane within the abdominopelvic cavity

parietal peritoneum

lines the cavity wall

visceral peritoneum

parietal peritoneum turns inward at posterior midline and becomes this, suspending abdominal viscera from the body wall, covering their surfaces, and holding them in place

peritoneal cavity

space between parietal and visceral peritoneum

retroperitoneal organs are and include:

organs that lie against the posterior body wall and are covered by the peritoneum only on the side facing the peritoneal cavity. kidneys, ureters, adrenal glands, most of pancrease, and abdominal portions of the aorta and inferior vena cava

intraparitoneal

organs that are encircle by the peritoneum and connected to the posterior body wall by peritoneal sheets
