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...

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

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
