Pleural cavity: lungs
Pericardial cavity: heart
Mediastinum: heart, esophagus, trachea, diaphragm, thymus gland, aorta
Surrounded by rib cage; backed by spinal vertebrae and scapula.
heart , liver
The Thoracic cavity (above the diaphragm) & the Abdominal cavity (below).
In physiology superior means above. The cavity superior to the diaphragm is the thoracic cavity
Two lungs with the passages. Your heart with the vessels and esophagus.
The ventral cavity houses almost all of the major body organs. It is subdivided into 2 cavities: a) thoracic cavity - housed by the ribcage. b) abdominopelvic cavity - located on the abdomen and pelvis, as the name implies. The diaphragm is the muscle organ that separates the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavity. The organs on each sub-cavity are as follows: THORACIC: heart - located in the mediastinum 2 lungs ABDOMINAL liver stomach pancreas gall bladder spleen small and large intestines 2 kidneys 2 adrenal glands ureter PELVIC female - uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, urinary bladder male - urinary bladder, prostate gland, seminal vesicles
The Thoracic cavity (above the diaphragm) & the Abdominal cavity (below).
The two major adult organs in the thoracic cavity are the heart and the lungs.
The abdominopelvic cavity. Also, a little bit of the thoracic cavity.
Namely, the heart and lungs! The great vessels of the heart, the respiratory, oesophagus and some endocrine glands. Plus a few other major things.

The ventral cavity is subdivided into 2 other cavities, the thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity which are separated by the diaphragm. Some of the organs within each are:THORACIC2 pleural cavities > lungsmediastinum > pericardial cavity, major blood and lymph vesselspericardial cavity > heartABDOMINOPELVICabdominal cavity > stomach, liver, spleen, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestinepelvic cavity > urinary bladder, colon, rectum, reproductive organs

Breathing (OR ventilation) and respiration: The major organs in the thoracic cavity are the lungs and the heart, which work in conjunction to provide oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide produced during respiration. Gaseous exchange occurs within the lungs (respiratory system), while the heart (cardiovascular system) is responsible for pumping the oxygenated/deoxygenated blood around the body. The thoracic cavity also contains the diaphragm, and ribs which aid in breathing/ventilation.
