trunk cavities are derived from
coelomic cavity
3 trunk cavities
pericardium, pleura, peritoneum
what separates the abdominal and thoracic cavities
diaphragm - derived from septum transversum
abdominal and pelvic cavity are
continuous - abdominopelvic cavity

sternum derived from
somatopleure
top bit of the sternum
manubrium
middle bit of the sternum
body
bottom sword of the sternum
Xiphoid
costal margin
A shaped ventral margin
Thorax
○ Body region between the neck and abdomen, encased by the vertebrae, ribs, sternum and diaphragm
4 steps to partitioning the mediastinum
- Heart and diaphragm develop in the neck region
- Body wall expands faster than the lungs are growing, Creates more space for lungs to grow into
- Diaphragm migrates, Innervated by phrenic nerve (C3-5)
- Phrenic nerves: Stay around ~width of the vertebrae, Creates a bend in the thoracic coelom, Creates a pleura and pericardial areas
