Where is that the thoracic cavity in relation to abdominal pelvic cavity?
Those in the Thoracic Cavity are the heart and lungs. ' The Abdominal Cavity holds the digestive organs.
What happens to the pressure and volume inside the thoracic cavity when you pull the rubber diaphragm down the lung model?
When the diaphragm is pulled down, the volume of the thoracic cavity increases, and the air pressure in the thoracic cavity decreases. This causes inhalation.
What body cavity protects the organs of reproduction abdominal dorsal or thoracic?
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.
What effect does enlargement of the thoracic cavity has on the air pressure inside the lungs?
reduces intra-thoracic pressure which creates suction that draws air into lungs
What membrane lines the inside of the chest cavity?
Squamous. See Related Links.
Increasing the size of the thoracic cavity causes?
inhalation/inhale it also causes a decrease pressure in thoraces cavity and pleural cavity
Is the heart positioned between the lungs in the thoracic cavity?
No, the heart is placed more towards the left lung, anterior to the vertebral column and posterior to the sternum. That is why in 95% of the world population there are only two lobes on the left lung and three on the right.

what happen if you punctured your chest cavity?
Your lungs could not take in more air without it leaking out; you could not breathe in and out. Technical Explanation: The pressure would be the same inside and outside the lungs — air and waste products would not be forced in and out of the lungs. (You could not change the size of the thoracic cavity if there was a leak in it.)
What is a condition in which there ia air inside the thoracic cavity and outside the lungs?
It is called pneumothorax. "Pneumo" is the medical root word for "air" or "lung(s)". "Thorax is the medical root word for "chest" or "chest cavity". Never be intimidated by "medicalese" or "medical technobabble". All those intimidating sounding words are made of simple building blocks, namely medical root words. You can always look them up on Wikipedia or at The National Institute of Health's website: nih.gov/ (-:
What happens to the pressure inside the lungs as the volume of the thorax increase?
As your diaphragm expands, the pressure in your thoracic cavity decreases. Air rushes into the partial vacuum, and you inhale.
