Cranial Cavity
houses the brain
Vertebral Canal
Contains the spinal cord and is surrounded by sections of the backbone, the thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity
Diaphragm
The thoracic cavity is separated from the abdominopelvic cavity by this broad, thin muscle
Mediastinum
Extends forward to the sternum and backward to the vertebral column. Forms boundry between right and left sides of the thoracic cavity.
Abdominopelvic extends from
the diaphragm to the floor of the pelvis.

ORal Cavity
Teeth and Tongue
Nasal Cavity
Connecting with several air-filled sinuses
Orbital Cavities
Containing the eyes and associated skeletal muscles and nerves
Thin Serous Membranes..
line the walls of the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities and fold back to cover the organs within these cavities. Secrete a slippery serous fluid that separates the layer lining the wall of the cavity from the layer covering an organ
Pericardial Membranes
The heart is surrounded by this
What covers the hearts surface?
Thin visceral Pericardium (epicardium)
