What major organs are found in the thoracic cavity?
Pleural cavity: lungs Pericardial cavity: heart Mediastinum: heart, esophagus, trachea, diaphragm, thymus gland, aorta Surrounded by rib cage; backed by spinal vertebrae and scapula.
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
