Do the dorsal cavity contain the thoracic and abdominal and pelvic cavities?

No, the dorsal cavity does not contain the thoracic, abdominal, or pelvic cavities. The dorsal cavity is divided into the cranial cavity, which houses the brain, and the spinal cavity, which contains the spinal cord. The thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities are part of the ventral cavity, which is located at the front of the body.


What is the difference between the dorsal root the ventral root and the dorsal root ganglion?

Ventral root is the ventral portion of spinal cord,there is no ganglion,cell body is of motor types ,cell info goes out of spinal cord of anterior horn. dorsal root is dorsal portion of spinal cord,it posses ganglion,cell body is of sensory types,information goes into spinal cord posterior horn


What are ventral nerves?

Ventral nerves are nerves that emerge from the spinal cord on the ventral side (front) of the body. They carry motor commands from the brain to muscles and organs, controlling movement and functions such as respiration and digestion.


What are ventral and dorsal body cavities separated by?

The ventral and dorsal body cavities are separated by the diaphragm, a muscle located beneath the lungs. The ventral cavity contains organs such as the heart, stomach, and intestines, while the dorsal cavity houses the brain and spinal cord.
