Body Cavity
spaces that enclose internal organs
Cranial Cavity
contains brain, formed by cranial bones, membranes: meninges (pia mater, dura meter, arachnoid) fluid: cerebral spinal fluid, found in dorsal cavity,
Vertebral Cavity
contains spinal cord, beginning of spinal nerves, formed by vertebral column, membranes: meninges (pia mater, dura mater, arachnoid) fluid: cerebral spinal fluid, found in dorsal cavity
What are the major components of the thoracic cavity?
Pleural Cavity, Mediastinum, Pericardial Cavity
Thoracic Cavity
Cavity superior to the diaphragm that contains two pleural cavities, the mediastinum, and the pericardial cavity (ventral cavity)
Pleural Cavity
potential space between the layers of the pleura that surround the lung
Pericardial Cavity
potential space between the layers of the pleura that surround the heart
Mediastinum
central part of the thoracic cavity between lungs Location: extends from the sternum to the spinal cord and from the first rib to the diaphragm
Mediastinum Contents
heart, thymus, esophagus, trachea, several large blood vessels
Dorsal cavity
cranial cavity, vertebral cavity
Ventral body cavity
thoracic cavity, abdominopelvic cavity
Retroperitoneal
Organs found in the abdomen, not surrounded by peritoneum are known as retroperitoneal and found posterior to the peritoneum
Retroperitoneal Organs
kidneys, adrenal glands, pancreas, duodenum of the small intestine, ascending and descending colons of large intestine, portions of the abdominal aorta, inferior vena cava
Parietal Pleura
Outside lung lining
Visceral Pleura
Inside Lung Lining
Parietal Pericardium
Outside heart lining
Visceral Pericardium
Inside heart lining
Visceral peritoneum
Inside abdominal lining
Parietal Peritoneum
Outside abdominal lining
Peritoneal Cavity
between the visceral and parietal peritoneum
RUQ Contents
Liver, gallbladder, duodenum, head of he pancreas, right adrenal gland, upper lobe of right kidney, hepatic flexure of colon, section of ascending colon, section of transverse colon
RLQ Contents
Lower lobe of kidney, section of ascending colon, right fallopian tube (female), right ovary (female), parts of the uterus (if enlarged), right spermatic cord (male), cecum, appendix, right ureter
LUQ Contents
Left upper lobe of the kidney, lower part of the liver, splenic flexure of colon, section of the transverse colon, section of descending colon, stomach, spleen, pancreas, left adrenal gland
LLQ Contents

Oral cavity
the space within the mouth, containing the tongue and teeth.
Nasal cavity
a mucosa - lined cavity on either side of the nasal septum that opens onto the face at the external nares and into the nasopharynx at the internal nares
Orbital cavity
the bony, pyramidal-shaped cavity of the skull that holds the eyeball
Middle Ear cavity
a small, epthelial-lined cavity hollowed out of the temporal bone, separated from the external ear by the eardrum and from the internal ear by thin bony partition containing the oval and round windows; extending across the middle ear the three auditory ossicles. Also called the tympanic cavity.
Synovial cavity
the space between the articuliating bones of a synovial joint, filled with synovial fluid. Also called a joint cavity
Umbilical cavity
most central in location, surrounding the umbilicus; it is bounded laterally by the two lateral or lumbar regions, superiorly by the epigastric region, and inferiorly by the suprapubic or hypogastric region.
Epigastric cavity
region the abdominal region that is superior and central in location, above the umbilical region and between the two hypochondriac regions.
Hypogastric (pubic) cavity
the abdominal region that is inferior and central in location, below the umbilical region and between the two iliac(inguinal) regions
Iliac or inguinal cavity
the junctional region between the abdomen and thigh; either of the abdominal regions lateral to the suprapubic(hypogastric) region. Called also groin
Lumbar cavity
the region of the back lying lateral to the lumbar vertebrae
Hypochrondriac cavity
either of the abdominal regions that are in superior lateral locations, one on the left (left hypochondriac region) and one on the right (right hypochondriac region) of the epigastric region; called also hypochondrium.
Dosal Cavity Location
Think Back (Dorsal Fin) Brain, Spinal Cord
Ventral Cavity Location
Think Front Heart, Lungs, Diaphragm, digestive viscera, urinary bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum
Mediastinum bounderies
A to P Sternum to vertebral column
S to I rib 1 to diaphragm
Mediastinum Contents
Heart, Thymus, Esophagus, Trachea, Several large blood vessels
Function of pericardial/pleural/peritoneal fluid.
Between the two layers is a potential space, which contains a small amount of serous fluid for lubrication. This fluid allows for the viscera to slide during movement.
Ex: inflation/deflation of the lungs with breathing.
Retroperitoneal Organs
Organs found in the abdomen, not surrounded by peritoneum are known as retroperitoneal and found posterior to the peritoneum:
Retroperitoneal Organs & Structures
- Kidneys
- Adrenal glands
- Pancreas
- Duodenum of the small intestine
- Ascending and descending colons of large intestine
- Portions of the abdominal aorta
- Inferior vena cava
