48
Q

sural

A

calf or posterior surface of the leg

49
Q

vertebral

A

area of the spinal column

50
Q

cranial cavity

A

brain within the rigid skull

51
Q

vertebral/spinal cavity

A

within which spinal cord is protected by the bony vertebral column

52
Q

thoracic cavity

A

superior - separated from rest of ventral cavity by the dome-shaped diaphragm.
heart and lungs - protected by bony rib cage

53
Q

abdominopelvic cavity

A 
cavity inferior to the diaphragm.  can be split into:
abdominal cavity (superior) - stomach, intestines, liver, etc
pelvic cavity (inferior) - region partially enclosed by bony pelvis, contains reproductive organs, bladder, rectum. shape: tipped forward
54
Q

serous membrane (serosa)

A

exceedingly thin, double-layered membrane covering walls of the ventral body cavity and the outer surfaces of the organs it contains.

membranes (parietal/visceral) produce a thin lubricating fluid that allows the visceral organs to slide over one another or to rub against the body wall with minimal friction.

Compartmentalize the various organs so infection of one organ is prevented from spreading to others

55
Q

parietal serosa

visceral serosa

A

part of the membrane lining the cavity walls

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

(membrane is continuous)

56
Q

peritoneum

A

serosa lining the abdominal cavity and covering its organs

57
Q

pleura

A

serosa enclosing the lungs

58
Q

pericardium

A

serosa around the heart

59
Q

umbilical region

A

centermost region, which includes the umbilicus (navel)

60
Q

epigastric region

A

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

61
Q

hypogastric (pubic) region

A

immediately inferior to the umbilical region; encompasses the pubic region

62
Q

iliac, or inguinal, regions

A

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

63
Q

lumbar regions

A

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

64
Q

hypochondriac regions

A

flanking the epigastric region laterally and overlying the lower ribs

65
Q

oral cavity

A

aka mouth, containing tongue and teeth. continuous with rest of digestive tube, which opens to the exterior at the anus.

66
Q

nasal cavity

A

located within and posterior to the nose, is part of the passages of the respiratory system

67
Q

orbital cavities (orbits)

A

house the eyes and present them in an anterior position

68
Q

middle ear cavities

A

each one lies just medial to an eardrum and is carved into the bony skull. contain tiny bones that transmit sound vibrations to the hearing receptors in the inner ears

69
Q

synovial cavities

A

joint cavities, enclosed within fibrous capsules that surround the freely movable joints of the body, such as those between vertebrae and the knee and hip joints. Like the serous membranes of the ventral cavity, membranes lining synovial cavities secrete a lubricating fluid that reduces friction as the enclosed structures move across one another.
