The diaphragm.
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 thoracic cavity is superior to the abdominopelvic cavity.
The diaphragm divides the thoracic cavity from the abdominopelvic cavity.
thoracic and abdominopelvic cavity
The diaphragm is the natural boundary between the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities. It is a dome-shaped muscle that separates the thoracic cavity (containing the heart and lungs) from the abdominopelvic cavity (containing organs like the liver, stomach, and intestines).
The diaphragm separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominopelvic cavity. It is composed of skeletal muscle.

thoracic and abdominopelvic cavity
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.
Diaphragm
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.
Yes, the mediastinum is a partition in the thoracic cavity that separates the lungs into right and left cavities. It does not divide the ventral body cavity. The ventral body cavity is divided by the diaphragm into the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.
