chest cavity
The diaphragm is the muscular structure that separates the thoracic cavity, which contains the heart and lungs, from the abdominopelvic cavity, which contains the digestive organs and reproductive organs. The diaphragm helps in breathing by contracting and relaxing to change the pressure within the thoracic cavity.
The body cavity bounded by the ribs is the thoracic cavity. It contains the heart, lungs, and other structures involved in breathing and circulation.
The thoracic cavity is superior to the abdominopelvic cavity.
The diaphragm divides the body into two main cavities: the thoracic cavity above the diaphragm, which contains the heart and lungs, and the abdominal cavity below the diaphragm, which houses the digestive organs such as the stomach, liver, and intestines.
Thoracic cavity indicates your chest , the Abdominal cavity indicates your abdomen INFERIOR means under .Your chest is above your abdomen hence the thoracic cavity is SUPERIOR to the Abdominopelvic cavity.
The diaphragm divides the thoracic cavity from the abdominopelvic cavity.
The lungs and heart are found in the thoracic cavity and that cavity is superior to the diaphragm.
