What does the diaphragm body cavity contain?

Divides body cavity into thoracic and abdominopelvic

What does the thoracic body cavity contain

Surrounded by ribs and diaphragm, Seperate by mediastinum

What does the mediastinum body cavity contain?

All structures of the thoracic cavity (except lungs)

What is a serous membrane?

Inner wall (visceral) and outer wall (parietal), space between is filled with serous fluid (clear and watery), reduces friction and movement

Explain the balloon/membrane metaphor

When you push your hand into a balloon, the outside of your balloon is the parietal membrane, while the part around your fist is the visceral. The space between is the serous fluid
