Body Cavities |
Hollow spaces in the body that contain internal organs (viscera) |
|
|
Two main cavities |
Ventral (front), Dorsal (back) |
|
|
Ventral cavity |
Contains the Thoracic & Abdominopelvic cavity |
|
|
Dorsal Cavity |
Contains the Cranial & Spinal Cavity |
|
|
Thoracic Cavity |
Protects the heart & lungs. Contains the Pleural & Mediastinum |
|
|
Organs in the Thoracic Cavity |
Lungs, trachea, bronchi, heart, esophogus, thymus, aorta, veins, arteries, capillaries |
|
|
Pleural Cavity |
Contains double lining. Visceral pleura covers organs. Parietal pleura lines the cavity |
|
|
Mediastinum Cavity |
Contains the heart. Parietal pericardial membrane lines cavity. Visceral pericardial membrane covers heart. |
|
|
Abdominopelvic Cavity |
Contains the Abdominal & Pelvic Cavity. |
|
|
Diaphragm |
Separates the Thoracic and Abdominopelvic Cavities |
|
|
Abdominal Cavity |
Contains organs that maintain homeostasis. Lined with parietal peritoneal membrane (double folded membranes). Viceral peritoneal membrane covers organs (mesentery). |
|
|
Pelvic Cavity |
Contains reproductive organs. |
|
|
Organs in the Abdominopelvic Cavity |
Stomach, Intestines, Liver, Gallbladder, Pancreas, Appendix, Kidneys, Spleen, Aorta, Vena Cava, Blood Vessel |
|
|
Quadrants of the Abdominopelvic Cavity |
Identify specific locations for clinical purposes; use vertical and horizontal imaginary lines RUQ= Right upper quadrant LLQ= Left lower quadrant |
|
|
Regions of the Abdominopelvic Cavity |
|
|
|
Dorsal Cavity Divisions |
Contains the Cranial & Spinal Cavities |
|
|
Cranial Cavity |
Contains the brain, pituitary gland, pineal gland. meninges (membranes) covering brain. Skull bones |
|
|
Spinal Cavity |
Contains: Spinal cord, peripheral nerves. Meninges (membranes) covering spinal cord. spinal cavity is formed by the vertebral bones. |
|
|
Organs in the Dorsal |
Brain, pituitary gland, pineal gland, spinal cord, perpheral nerves |
|
|
Divisions of the spinal column |
