Q

Frontal plane

A

Dividing the body vertically, the frontal plane creates the interior (front) and posterior (back) portions of the body.

*Also called the coronal plane.

Q

Pleural cavities

A

Two pleural cavities, each contain a lung.

*1/3 areas that make up thoracic cavity.

21

*1/3 areas that make up thoracic gland

23
Q

Abdominopelvic

A

Typically divided an abdominal and pelvic cavities.

24
Q

What organs are inside the abdominal cavity?

A

The stomach, spleen, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, most of the small intestine and colon

25
What organs are inside the pelvic cavity?
The urinary bladder, ureters, urethra, lower part of large intestine, and part of the small intestine. *It also houses, female, reproductive organs, and some of the males reproductive organs.
26
The abdominal cavity is divided into what 4 quadrants?
The left upper quadrant, right upper quadrant, left lower quadrant, and right lower quadrant.
27
What organs are in the left upper quadrant in the abdominal cavity?
A portion of the liver, spleen, stomach, majority of pancreas, left kidney, portion of the small intestine and the colon.
28
What organs are in the right upper quadrant of the abdominal cavity?
Majority of the liver, gallbladder, portion of the pancreas, right, kidney, and portion of the small intestine and colon.
29
What organs are in the left lower quadrant of the abdominal cavity?
About half of the small intestines and colon, the left ovary and fallopian tube, and the left ureter
30
What organs are in the right lower quadrant of the abdominal cavity?
It contains about half of the small intestines and colon, the right ovary and fallopian tube, the appendix, and the right ureter.
31
What are the two major cavities of the body? Where are they located on the body?
The dorsal cavity, which is in the back, and the ventral cavity, which is in the front.
32
What two cavities can be subdivided from the dorsal cavity? What do they house?
The cranial and spinal cavities. The cranial cavity houses the brain, and the spinal cavity houses the spinal cord.
33
What two cavities can be subdivided from the ventral cavity? Where are they located?
The thoracic cavity, which is located in the chest region, and the abdominopelvic cavity, which is located in the trunk region.
34
What two cavities can be subdivided from the thoracic cavity and what do they house?
The pleural cavity, which houses the lungs, and the mediastinum cavity, which house is the trachea and the esophagus.
35
What cavity can be subdivided from the mediastinum cavity? What does it house?
The pericardial cavity, which houses the heart and the great vessels.
36
What cavity is subdivided from the ventral cavity?
Abdominopelvic cavity.
37
Which two cavities can be subdivided from the abdominal pelvic cavity? What do they house?
The abdominal cavity which houses the liver, stomach, pancreas, and intestines. The pelvic cavity, which houses the bladder and the reproductive organs.
