Pleural cavity |
space between the folds of the pleura surrounding each lung. The pleura is a double-folded membrane that surrounds the lungs and protects them. If the pleura is inflamed (as in pleuritis, also called pleurisy), the pleural cavity may fill with fluid. |
|
Mediastinum |
entrally located space outside of and between the lungs. It contains the heart, aorta, trachea, esophagus, thymus gland, bronchial tubes, and many lymph nodes. |
|
Abdominal |
The peritoneum is the double-folded membrane surrounding the abdominal cavity (Figure 2-9). The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs situated behind (retroperitoneal area) the abdominal cavity on either side of the backbone (see Figures 2-9 and 2-11). Also contains the stomach, small and large intestines, spleen, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. The diaphragm (a muscular wall) divides the abdominal and thoracic cavities (see Figure 2-7). |
|
Pelvic |
Portions of the small and large intestines, rectum, urinary bladder, urethra, and ureters; uterus and vagina in the female. |
