thoracic and abdominopelvic cavity
The two subdivisions of the dorsal region are the dorsal fin and the dorsal surface. The dorsal fin is a prominent feature found on the backs of many aquatic animals, such as fish and whales, providing stability and aiding in swimming. The dorsal surface refers to the upper side or back of an organism, which can be important for various functions, including protection and thermoregulation.
The abdominal cavity and the chest cavity are the two largest body cavities in humans.
The pericardial cavity (surrounding the heart), the thoracic cavity (surrounding the lungs and the pericardium, including the heart), and the peritoneal cavity (surrounding the visceral and internal reproductive organs).
The ventral cavity develops into two main subdivisions: the thoracic cavity and the abdominopelvic cavity. The thoracic cavity contains the pleural cavities (surrounding the lungs) and the mediastinum (containing the heart and other structures). The abdominopelvic cavity is further divided into the abdominal cavity (housing digestive organs) and the pelvic cavity (containing the reproductive organs and bladder). Together, these cavities encompass critical organs and systems necessary for various bodily functions.
The two largest body cavities are the thoracic and abdominal cavities.
The two subdivisions of the Dorsal Cavity are the Cranial Cavity and the Vertebral Cavity.
The dorsal cavity is divided into the cranial cavity and the spinal cavity. These two subdivisions are continuous with each other.
cranial which contains the brain and spinal which contains the nerves of the spinal cord.
Dorsal cavity: The smaller of the two main body cavities, the larger being the ventral cavity. It contains the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord).
The two principal body cavities are the dorsal cavity, which includes the cranial and vertebral cavities, and the ventral cavity, which includes the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities. These cavities protect and house internal organs and structures within the body.

The Thoracic cavity (above the diaphragm) & the Abdominal cavity (below).
The Thoracic cavity (above the diaphragm) & the Abdominal cavity (below).
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.
The abdominal cavity and the chest cavity are the two largest body cavities in humans.
The ventral cavity houses almost all of the major body organs. It is subdivided into 2 cavities: a) thoracic cavity - housed by the ribcage. b) abdominopelvic cavity - located on the abdomen and pelvis, as the name implies. The diaphragm is the muscle organ that separates the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavity. The organs on each sub-cavity are as follows: THORACIC: heart - located in the mediastinum 2 lungs ABDOMINAL liver stomach pancreas gall bladder spleen small and large intestines 2 kidneys 2 adrenal glands ureter PELVIC female - uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, urinary bladder male - urinary bladder, prostate gland, seminal vesicles
