fossa
The thoracic cavity is superior to the abdominopelvic cavity.
The region in the middle of the upper row of the abdominopelvic cavity is the epigastric region. This region is located above the umbilical region and is home to important organs such as the stomach and part of the liver.
Yes, the oral cavity refers to the space inside the mouth where functions like eating, speaking, and breathing occur. The term "mouth" is often used interchangeably with "oral cavity" to describe this anatomical structure.
The anatomical name for the eye socket is the orbit. It is a bony cavity in the skull that houses and protects the eye, along with its associated structures such as muscles, nerves, and blood vessels.
The anatomical term for armpit is axilla.
sternum
The thoracic cavity is superior to the abdominopelvic cavity.
Pelvic cavity is a part and parcel of the abdominal cavity. Pelvic cavity lies in lower part of the abdomen.
The thoracic cavity is the anatomical region with the lungs being situated inside the right and left pleural cavities that flank the pericardial cavity .
The kidneys lie behind the abdominal cavity in the retroperitoneal space. This anatomical space actually contains no structures.
The anatomical cavity that contains all of the thoracic viscera except the lungs is the mediastinum. The mediastinum is located between the lungs and extends from the sternum to the vertebral column, and from the thoracic inlet to the diaphragm. It houses vital structures such as the heart, great vessels, trachea, esophagus, and thymus gland.
Body cavities in organisms are referred to as coeloms, and animals that have them are called coelomates. An organism that has a false body cavity, or a psuedocoelom, are called psuedocoelomates.
The entrance to a cavity is called an "orifice." It is the opening that allows access to the internal space of the cavity, whether it be natural, like a mouth or nostril, or artificial, such as an opening in a structure or a drilled hole. In anatomical contexts, it often refers to openings in the body that lead to internal organs or spaces.
The diaphragm physically separates the thoracic cavity (which includes the heart and lungs) from the abdominopelvic cavity (which includes the digestive organs and reproductive organs). This anatomical division helps protect the organs in each cavity and allows for independent movements during breathing and digestion.
The region in the middle of the upper row of the abdominopelvic cavity is the epigastric region. This region is located above the umbilical region and is home to important organs such as the stomach and part of the liver.
Yes, the oral cavity refers to the space inside the mouth where functions like eating, speaking, and breathing occur. The term "mouth" is often used interchangeably with "oral cavity" to describe this anatomical structure.
The scrotum is the part of the male reproductive system that holds the testes and is located externally to the abdominal cavity. This positioning helps to regulate the temperature of the testes for optimal sperm production.
