65
In the axial portion of the body, what is it’s (2) two main cavities?
Dorsal body cavity and Ventral body cavity.
66
What body cavity consists of the cranial and spinal cavities?
Dorsal Body Cavity
67
What cavity within the dorsal body cavity within the rigid skull, contains the brain?
Cranial Cavity
68
What cavity within the dorsal body cavity which runs within the bony vertebral column, protects the spinal cord. The spinal cord is a continuation of the brain, and the cavities containing them are continuous with each other?
Spinal Cavity
69
What body cavity consists of the thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity, and pelvic cavity?
Ventral Body Cavity
70
What cavity is superior and is separated from the rest of the ventral cavity by the muscular diaphragm?
Thoracic Cavity
71
What is located in the thoracic cavity and are protected by the bony rib cage?
Heart and Lungs
72
What cavity is inferior to the diaphragm, although there is no further physical separation of this part of the ventral cavity, some describe the abdominopelvic cavity in terms of a superior abdominal cavity?
Abdominopelvic Cavity

89
The region between the anus and external genitalia
Perineal
90
It is relating to head, neck, and trunk, the axis of the body.
Axial
91
It is relating to limbs and their attachments to the axis.
Appendicular
92
What plane that runs longitudinally and divides the body into right and left parts?
Sagittal Plane
93
What plane is called if it divides the body into equal parts, right down the midline of the body?
Median or Midsagittal Plane
94
What plane is a longitudinal plane that divides the body (or an organ) into anterior and posterior parts?
Frontal Plane or Coronal Plane
95
What plane that runs horizontally, dividing the body into superior and inferior parts. When organs are sectioned along the this plane, the sections are commonly called cross sections?

99
What cavity is commonly called “the mouth”. It contains the tongue and teeth. It is continuous with the rest of the digestive tube, which opens to the exterior at the anus?
Oral Cavity
100
What cavity is located within and posterior to the nose and is part of the passages of the respiratory system?
Nasal Cavity
101
What cavities in the skull house the eyes and present them in an anterior position?
Orbital Cavities (orbits)
102
What cavities that lies just medial to an eardrum and is carved into the bony skull. These cavities contain tiny bones that transmit sound vibrations to the hearing receptor in the inner ears?
Middle Ear Cavities
103
What cavities are are joint cavities—they are enclosed within fibrous capsules that surround the freely movable joints of the body, such as those between the vertebrae and the knee and hip joints. Like the serous membranes of the ventral body cavity, membranes lining the synovial cavities secrete a lubricating fluid that reduces friction as the enclosed structures move across one another?
Synovial Cavities
104
Where are the oral, nasal, orbital, and middle ear cavities located?
It’s located in the head and open to the body exterior.
105
Where is the Synovial Cavities located?
Synovial cavities are found in joints between many bones, such as the vertebrae of the spine, and at the knee, shoulder, and hip.
