Neither. The main cavity is called the abdominopelvic cavity. A sub-cavity inside that is the pelvic cavity. That is where you will find the organs of reproduction. The dorsal cavity is along your back and skull. The thoracic is where your heart and lungs are. The abdominal cavity is a sub-cavity of the abdominopelvic cavity, its where your stomach and other related organs are.

Do coelenterates have a coelom?

No. A coelenterate is an animal (such as a jellyfish), whose main body cavity is also its alimentary canal (gut). Most animals, on the other hand, have a body cavity (called a coelom) that is separate from the gut. For instance, inside your own body, you have an alimentary canal (your esophagus, stomach and intestines) and a separate body cavity that contains your heart, lungs, liver, etc. In a coelenterate, there is only one cavity.

What two organs are in the dorsal cavity?

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
