An internal body cavity is a space in the body that does not contain something, much like a cavity in a tooth is where the tooth has rotted away. There are several examples of this: your sinuses are internal body cavities - they are an open space in your body. There is a body cavity in your chest as well surrounding your lungs and heart.
