2 subdivisions of dorsal body cavity
Cranial cavity (skull)
Vertebral or spinal cavity2
2 major subdivisions of ventral body cavity
Thoracic cavity
Abdominopelvic cavityviscera
Viscera
Internal organs collectively contained in ventral cavity
3 subdivisions of thoracic cavity
2 lateral pleural cavities
Mefiastinum
Pleural cavities
Each contain one lung
Mediastinum
Contains pericardial cavity which contains heat, esophagus, trachea
Diaphragm
Separates thoracic & abdominopelvic cavities
Important in breathing
2 subsections of abdominopelvic cavity & their contents
Abdominal cavity - contains liver, spleen, stomach
Pelvic cavity- pelvis, urinary bladder, some reproductive organs & rectum
Parietal serosa
Lines walls of ventral cavity
Visceral serosa
Covers the organs of the ventral body cavity
Abdominopelvic quadrants
Mostly used by medical personnel
RUQ - right upper quadrant
LUQ - left upper quadrant
RLQ- right lower quadrant
LLQ- left lower quadrant

Through umbilicus
Serosa
Aka serous membrane
Double layered membrane in ventral cavitythat lines walls & outer surface of organs it contains
9 abdominopelvic regions
Primsrily used by anstomists
2 transverse & 2 parasigittal planes
Umbilical - centermost region, deep to & surrounding umbilicus
Epigastric - superior to umbilical
Hypogastric- inferior to umbilical
Right & left iliac or inguinal - lateral to hypogastric
Right & left hypochondria - lateral to epigastric & deep to ribs
Synovial cavities
Joint cavities
Enclosed in fibrous capsules
Secrete lubricating fluid
Organs in right hypochondriac region
Liver
Gall bladder
Serous fluid
Lubricating fluid that separates serous membranes
Secreted by both membranes
Allows organs to slide without friction across walls & each other
Dorsal body cavity
Cranial
Vertebral/spinal
Ventral body cavity
Thiracic cavity
Abdominopelvic cavity
Viscera
Organs collectively contained in ventral body cavity
Pleural cavities
Each contain one lung
Mediastinum
Part of thiracic cavity
Contains heart, esophagus, trachea
2 portions of abdominal cavity & their organs
1. Superior abdominal cavity
Stomach, intestines, spleen, liver
2. Inferior abdominal cavity
Pelvic region
Urinary bladder
Some reproductive organs
Rectum
Organs in epigastric region
Stomach
Organs of left hypochondriac region
Diaphragm
Spleen
Organs in right lumbar region
Ascending colon of large intestine
Organs of umbilical regio
Small intestine
Organs of left lumbar region
Descending colon of large intestine
Organs of right iliac (inguinal) region
Cecum
Appendix
Organs of hypogastric region
Urinary bladder
Organs of left iliac (inguinal) region
Initial part of sigmoid colon
Catabolic vs anabolic
Catabolic - breaks down substances into simpler blocks
Anabolic- synthesizes (builds up) more complex cellular substances from simpler substances
