The dorsal body cavity is a space within the body, located towards the dorsal/posterior surface of the body, that contains the brain
Contains the brain and spinal cord.
I think there are only 2 cavities that the dorsal cavitiy encompasses and those are the cranial cavity and the spinal cord.
The human dorsal cavity consists of the cavities in the posterior of the torso and head, including the cranial cavity and the vertebral column.
