Body Cavities +organs
spleen
Abdominal cavity: blood maintance. acts like a filter for blood, helps fight bacteria
ureter
abdominopelvic cavity: carries urine from kidney to urinary bladder
ovary
abdominopelvic cavity: *only female* produce eggs for fertilization and they produce the reproductive hormones.
Cerebrum
the upper part of the cranial cavity: largest part, divided into by right and left hemisphere then divided into 4 regions. Controls senses, thoughts, and movements.
heart
thoracic Cavity:pumps blood throughout the body supplying oxygen and nutrients to the tissues.
ventral cavity
thoracic cavity- abdominopelvic cavity- abdominal cavity + pelvic cavity
Lungs
thoracic cavity: gas exchange- oxygen in blood Co2 leaving blood. "breathing oxygen enter through lungs as part of the air that we breathe.
large intestine
Abdominal Cavity: Store waste and water resorb. Converting food into feces, and reclaiming water from feces
pancreas
Abdominal cavity: helps digestion(secretes enzymes into small intestine and regulates blood sugar
vas deferens
Abdominopelvic cavity: *male only* transport mature sperm cells to the urethra. The tube that carries urine or sperm to outside the body
uterus
Abdominopelvic cavity: nurturing the fertilized ovum- support a pregnancy womb.
pituitary gland
Cranial Cavity: "master gland" produces critical hormones which are chemical substances that control various bodily functions.
amygdala
Cranial Cavity: 2 per person, responsible for emotions, survival, and memory
cerebellum
Cranial Cavity: receives information from the sensory system then regulates muscle movement(motor movements)-- posture, balance, coordination, and speech.
medulla(brainstem)
Cranial Cavity: regulate breathing, heart and blood vessel(vital)(involuntary reflex)
Brain
Cranial Cavity: regulate the functions of CNS and integrating the functions of the body as a whole.
Thoracic Cavity
Organs in the thoracic cavity include the heart and lungs.
Cranial Cavity
Part of the dorsal cavity; the cranial cavity is formed by the skull and contains the brain.
Spinal Cavity
Part of the dorsal cavity; the spinal cavity is formed by the backbone (spine) and contains the spinal cord.
mediastinum membrane
Region in the thoracic cavity between the lungs, seperating the thorax into 2 compartments that contain the right and left lungs. In it is the heart, esophagus, trachea,and thymus
Pleural membrane
Serous membranes that line the thoracic cavity.
pericardial membrane
Serous membranes that surround the heart.
Trachea(wind pipe)
Thoracic Cavity: air flow to and from the lungs for respiration
Esophagus
Thoracic Cavity: connects the throat to the stomach(passway) conduit for food and liquids that have been swallowed into the pharynx to reach the stomach
thymus gland
Thoracic cavity: vital role in training and development of T-Cells-- help immune system
Spinal Cord
Vertebral Cavity: connects a large part of the peripheral nervous system to the brain. Information reaching the spinal cord through sensory neurons are transmitted up into the brain.
small intestine
abdominal cavity: Most digestion happens here.90% of the digestion and absorpotion occur
stomach
abdominal cavity: Where digestion begins. Secretes acid and enzymes that digest food.
kidney
abdominal cavity: blood pressure, and water. filter blood to produce urine, composed of waste of extra fluid
liver
abdominal cavity: largest organ, productions of Bio(fat)-store sugars
adrenal gland
abdominal cavity: produces hormones that help the body control blood sugar, burn protein,react to stressor and regulate blood pressure. (fight &flight)
vagina
abdominopelvic cavity: a conduit for menstral from the uterus sperm will enter, birth conal
cervix
abdominopelvic cavity: barrier, tissue will dilate. allow flow of menstrual blood from uterus into the vagina, and direct the sprem into uterus during intercourse.
urinary bladder
abdominopelvic cavity: bladder stores urine, allowing urination to be infrequent and voluntary
seminal vesicle
abdominopelvic cavity: fluid will contain key components(fructose) sugar that is produced to provide energy for swimming sperm cells(keep sperm alive)
Bulbourethral/cowpers gland
abdominopelvic cavity: produce a mucous-like fluid(pre-ejaculate) the liquid neutralizes residual acidity in urehtra
Fallopian tube
abdominopelvic cavity: transport sperm toward the egg then allow passage of fertilized egg back to the uterus for implantation.
urethra
abdominopelvic cavity: tube that carries urine from bladder to outside of body. males=reproductive +urinary females= only urinary
prostate gland
adominopelvic cavity:secrete prostate fluid(componet of semen) Nurish and protect sperm. *Mioses* *male only*
Adominopelvic
consists of the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity. It contains the stomach, liver, pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, kidneys, and most of the small and large intestines. It also contains the urinary bladder and internal reproductive organs.
dorsal body cavity
encloses the brain and spinal cord. cranial + spinal cavity
abdominal cavity
include the stomach, liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, small intestine, kidneys, large intestine, and adrenal glands.
