cranial cavity contains...
Brain cranial nerves and pituitary gland's
Serous Membranes: The serous membranes of the abdominal pelvic cavity exists as a single layer-true or false?
False- 2 layers. Visceral around the organs and the serous around the cavity lubricating it
Serous Membranes: Each organ in the ventral body cavity is covered with a parietal membrane- True or false?
False-it is the visceral membrane that covers the organs
Pericardial membrane surrounds the...
Heart
What are the subdivisions of that thoracic cavity?
Pleural, pericardial and mediastinum
Serous Membranes: Both the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavity are lined by a parietal serous membrane- True or false?
True
Serous Membranes: Serous membranes are lined with special cells that secrete a lubricating fluid- True or False?
True
Serous Membranes: The visceral membrane are found covering each organ- True or false?
True
Serous Membranes: The visceral pericardium is a serous membrane that is four around the heart- true or false?
True
Quadrants: What region lies directly in the middle of the abdomen?
Umbilical region
Quadrants: The left hypochondriac regions are in which quadrant(s)?
Upper left quadrant
Quadrants: The epigastric region is in which quadrant(s)?

Quadrants: The right inquinal region is in what quadrant?
Lower right
Thoracic cavity contains
Lungs and heart
The peritoneum surrounds the
Organs within the abdominopelvic cavity
pelvic cavity contains
Reproductive organs bladder and rectum
Quadrants: What regions are directly lateral to the hypogastric region?
Right and left inquinal
Visceral pleura....
Serous members that lines each lung
Parietal pericardium is...
Serous membrane lining the connective tissue sac of the heart
Parietal peritoneum is....
Serous membrane that lines the wall of the abdominopelvic cavity and the inferior surface of the diaphragm
The visceral pericardium is....
Serous membrane-lined cavity surrounding the heart
Vertebral cavity contains
Spinal cord and spinal nerves
Thoracic cavity is...
Surrounded by the rib cage and separated from the abdominal cavity by the diaphragm
The parietal serous membrane surrounds...
The individual cavity walls
The visceral serous membrane surround....
The individual organs
Diaphragm is
The separation between the thoracic and abdomopelvic cavity
Abdominopelvic contains
The stomach liver, pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, kidneys, small and large intestines bladder and reproductive organs
The mediastinum cavity separates....
The thoracic cavity into left and right parts
What is the main difference between the two layers of tissue that lubricate and protect the organs?
The visceral layer is found on the surface of each organ well that parietal layer is found lining the cavity wall
Ventral cavity contains
Thoracic, diaphragm, abdominopelvic, abdominal and pelvic cavities
The purpose of the body cavities are...
To physically protect the internal organs from shocking injury and to allow for the changing of shape and size of organs when they function
