?

Abdominalpelvic Cavity

These membranes line the abdominal and pelvic cavities and the organs found within

Peritoneal Membranes

•Parietal Peritoneum


•Visceral Peritoneum

Parietal Peritoneum

This membrane lines the abdominal pelvic cavity

Visceral Peritoneum

This membrane covers the organs within the cavity (i.e. intestine, uterus)

Visceral Pericardium

This membrane covers the heart

Parietal Pericardium

This membrane lines the area between the lungs known as the mediastinum

Pericardial Membranes

These membranes line the area called the mediastinum and the outside of the heart

Mediastinum

A region within the thoracic cavity between the lungs (begins the sternum). This contains: esophagus, trachea, thymus, pericardial cavity. Bound by the sternum (anterior) and the vertebral column (posterior)

Parietal

On the periphery (wall)

Viscera

the internal organs in the main cavities of the body, especially those in the abdomen, e.g., the intestines.

Visceral Pluera

This membrane covers the lungs

Parietal Pleura

This membrane covers the thoracic cavity

Thoracic Cavity

The membranes in this cavity line the walls of the cavity (chest cavity) and the organs found within

Thorax

the part of the body of a mammal between the neck and the abdomen, including the cavity enclosed by the ribs, breastbone, and dorsal vertebrae, and containing the chief organs of circulation and respiration; the chest.

Body Cavities (2)

•Dorsal Cavity


•Central Cavity

Dorsal Cavity

The dorsal body cavity is located along the dorsal surface of the human body, where it is subdivided into the cranial cavity housing the brain and the spinal cavity housing the spinal cord. The two cavities are continuous with one another.

Dorsal Cavity

The dorsal body cavity is located along the dorsal surface of the human body, where it is subdivided into the cranial cavity housing the brain and the spinal cavity housing the spinal cord. The two cavities are continuous with one another.

Cranial cavity
