dorsal body cavity

includes the cranial cavity and vertebral cavity (canal)

cranial cavity

encloses the brain

vertebral cavity (canal)

encloses the spinal cord

ventral body cavity

includes thoracic cavity, abdominopelvic cavity, and serous membranes

thoracic cavity

includes the pleural cavity and pericardial cavity

also includes mediastinum

pericardial cavity

surrounds the heart

pleural cavity

surrounds the lungs

mediastinum

central compartment of the thoracic cavity in between the lungs

contains the heart/pericardial cavity, trachea, esophagus, thymus, and great vessels (aorta, superior vena cava, inferior vena cava)

abdominopelvic cavity

includes the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity

also includes peritoneal cavity

abdominal cavity

contains the stomach, liver, pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, kidneys (adrenal (suprarenal) glands), small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum), most of large intestine, ureters, inferior vena cava

also includes the retroperitoneum

retroperitoneum

space located posterior to parietal peritoneum in the abdominal cavity

includes: suprarenal (adrenal) glands, aorta (and inferior vena cava), duodenum, pancreas, ureters, colon (ascending and descending), kidneys, esophagus, rectum

pelvic cavity

contains the bladder, reproductive organs, large intestine (sigmoid colon and rectum), ureters, urethra

peritoneal cavity

lines the internal walls of the abdominopelvic cavity

serous membranes

membranes inside the ventral body cavities, including the pleura (lungs), pericardium (heart), and peritoneum (abdominal and pelvic organs)

covered by mesothelium

mesothelium

surrounds serous membranes

includes: parietal serosa- outer layer of serous membranes

visceral serosa- inner layer around serous membranes

human lung location
