There are more than that, depending on your definition of cavities.

Nose: For breathing

Auditory canals (ear holes): For hearing.

Mouth: For eating, breathing, and speech.

Urethra: For urination. Also for ejaculation during sex in males, since that is where they release semen.

Vagina: Copulation (sex), menstruation, and childbirth in females.

Anus and rectum: For removing fecal matter from the body using the process of waste removal known as defecation.

Other cavities include:

Heart: For pumping blood.

Peritoneum: Contains and protects vital organs.

Nasal sinuses: Heats inhaled air to body temperature, prevents drying of surrounding tissue (and possible pain), and filters air. There are also lymph nodes in there to help contain infections in the body.

Digestive tract: For eating, digestion, and waste elimination.

Uterus and female reprductive system: For pregnancy and childbirth.
