Cranial Cavity


Vertebral (Spinal Cavity)

Two parts of the Dorsal Body Cavity

Thoracic Cavity


Abdominopelvic Cavity (Abdominal and Pelvis)

Two parts of the Ventral Body Cavity

Serous Membrane / Serosa

- Exceedingly thin, double layered membrane that cover the walls of the central body cavity and the outer surfaces of the organs it contains`

Parietal Serosa

Part of the membrane lining the cavity walls

Visceral Serosa

Part of the membrane covering the external surface of the organs within the cavity

Peritoneum

Serosa lining the abdominal cavity and covering its organs

Pleura

Serosa enclosing the lungs



Pericardium

Serosa around the heart

Mediastinum

a membranous partition between two body cavities or two parts of an organ, especially that between the lungs.

Quadrants (4 by 2 planes)


Regions (9 by 4 planes)

Abdominopelvic Cavity can be divided in 2 ways

Umbilical Region


Epigastric Region


Hypogastric (Pubic) Region


Iliac, or inguinal regions


Lumbar regions


Hypochondriac regions

The 9 Regions of the Abdominopelvic Cavity

Umbilical Region

The centermost region, which includes the umbilicus (navel)

Epigastric region

Immediately superior to the umbilical region; overlies most of the stomach

Hypogastric (pubic) region

Immediately inferior to the umbilical region; encompasses the pubic area

Iliac or inguinal regions

Lateral to the hypogastric region and overlying the superior parts of the hip bones

Lumbar regions

Between the ribs and the flaring portions of the hip bones; lateral to the umbilical region

Hypochondriac regions

Flanking the epigastric region laterally and overlying the lower ribs

Oral


Nasal


Orbital


Middle Ear


Synovial

Other Body Cavities

Between the vertebrae and the knee and hip joins

Where can synovial cavities be found?

Section

A cut along an imaginary plane through the body wall or organ.

Diaphragm

Muscle that subdivides the ventral body cavity

dorsally, the vertebral column


laterally and anteriorly, the pelvis

Bony landmarks of the abdominopelvic cavity?

abdominal

Which body cavity affords the least protection to its internal structures?

integumentary, skeletal, muscular

Which organ system would not be represented in any of the body cavities?

function of the serous membranes

To cover the organs and produce a lubricating fluid that reduces friction as organs slide across one another or against cavity walls during function.

Cranial Cavity

The most protective body cavity

Abdominal

The cavity whose name means belly

Abdominal

The cavity whose walls are muscular
