Body Cavities, Serous Membranes

QuestionAnswer
body cavity separate enclosed space within body that houses organs
body cavity organization Dorsal (cranial and spinal), Ventral (thoracic 3, abdominopelvic 2) 3- pleural, mediastinum/mediastinal, pericardial 2- abdominal, pelvic
dorsal cavity posterior
ventral cavity anterior, separated by diaphragm
Describe cranial cavity dorsal cavity. contains brain
Describe vertebral canal dorsal cavity. contains nerves and spinal cord
where is thoracic cavity in the ventral cavity? What cavities does it contain? ventral , superior to diaphragm. pleural, mediastinum (mediastinal), pericardial
where is the abdominopelvic cavity in the ventral cavity? What cavities does it contain? ventral, inferior to diaphragm, abdominal, pelvic
Describe the pleural cavities ventral, thoracic, one cavity surrounding each lung.
Describe pericardial cavity ventral, thoracic, one cavity surrounding heart
Describe mediastinum/mediastinal cavity ventral, thoracic, one cavity intermediate to lung
What separates the two abdominopelvic cavities? pelvic brim of hip bones
Describe abdominal cavity ventral, abdominopelvic, one cavity containing digestive organs
Describe pelvic cavity ventral, abdominopelvic, one cavity surround pubic and some urinary organs
serous membrane: What is it? Where are they found? Why are they significant? double layered continuous membrane. Found lining VENTRAL cavities
Term: parietal lining internal surface of body wall (most superficial layer)
Term: visceral lines external surface of specific organ (most deep layer touching organ wall)
Term: pleural lungs
Term: pericardial heart
Term: peritoneum walls of abdomin
serous cavity: What is it? Where are they found? Why are they signifigant? space between parietal and visceral serous layers filled with serous fluid. Reduces friction between moving organs
membranes of thoracic cavity: pericardium parietal pericardium, visceral pericardium, pericardial cavity
membranes of thoracic cavity: pleura parietal pleura, visceral pleura, pleural cavity
membranes of thoracic cavity: peritoneum parietal peritoneum, visceral peritoneum, peritoneal cavity
The fluid inside a ventral serous membrane cavity is named: Ex: pericardial fluid inside pericardial cavity after the cavity it is in
