The Dorsal Cavity contains the Cranial Cavity and the Spinal Cavity. The only organ in the dorsal cavity is the brain.
no, it doesn't
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.
Dorsal cavity: The smaller of the two main body cavities, the larger being the ventral cavity. It contains the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord).
The Dorsal Cavity contains the Cranial Cavity and the Spinal Cavity. The only organ in the dorsal cavity is the brain.
The two major adult organs in the thoracic cavity are the heart and the lungs.
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 dorsal cavity is not inferior to anything.
Dorsal Cavity
The dorsal cavity is contained in the skull and vertebral column. The brain is located within the skull, and the spinal cord is located within the vertebral column. The brain and spinal cord are both encased in bone to protect them from injury.
The two subdivisions of the Dorsal Cavity are the Cranial Cavity and the Vertebral Cavity.
What is dorsal cavity?
The dorsal cavity consists of the cranial cavity (holds the brain) and the vertebral cavity (contains the spinal cord) and it is superior to the ventral cavity.
