The meninges are the membranes that protect the dorsal cavity, which includes the brain and spinal cord. They consist of three layers: the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater. These membranes provide cushioning and support for the central nervous system structures.
The main body cavities containing internal organs are the thoracic cavity (contains heart and lungs), abdominal cavity (contains digestive organs), and pelvic cavity (contains reproductive organs). These cavities protect and support the organs, and are lined by membranes called serous membranes.
The cranial cavity contains the brain, pineal and hypophysis cerebri, parts of the cranial and spinal nerves, blood vessels, meninges and cerebrospinal fluid.
The potential space between the pleural membranes is called the thoracic cavity. This is also known as the pleural cavity in some instances.
The body cavity that contains the intestines is called the abdominal cavity. It is located below the diaphragm and above the pelvic cavity. The abdominal cavity also houses other organs such as the liver, stomach, and kidneys.

Cranial cavity - serous membranes dorsal cavity = the back ventral cavity - has the thoracic cavity which contains the lungs(parietal pleura and visceral pleura membranes) and the heart (parietal pericardium and visceral pericardium membranes), the abdominal cavity (parietal peritoneum and visceral peritoneum membranes) and the pelvic cavity which is also peritoneum membranes)

The potential space between the pleural membranes is called the thoracic cavity. This is also known as the pleural cavity in some instances.
The spinal cavity primarily contains the spinal cord, which is the main pathway for transmitting signals between the brain and the body. Surrounding and protecting the spinal cord are the vertebrae (bones) of the spine, as well as the meninges (protective membranes).
The ventricles are cavities within the brain that connect with each other, with the subarachnoid space of the meninges and with the central canal of the spinal cord.
Cranial and Spinal Cavities
The space between the epicardium and the parietal pericardium is called the pericardial cavity. This cavity contains a small amount of pericardial fluid that acts as a lubricant to reduce friction between the membranes during heart contractions.
The cranial cavity contains the brain, pineal and hypophysis cerebri, parts of the cranial and spinal nerves, blood vessels, meninges and cerebrospinal fluid.
The body cavity that contains the intestines is called the abdominal cavity. It is located below the diaphragm and above the pelvic cavity. The abdominal cavity also houses other organs such as the liver, stomach, and kidneys.
The body membranes in the ventral cavity include the pericardium (around the heart), pleura (around the lungs), and peritoneum (lining the abdominal cavity and covering the abdominal organs). These membranes provide protection and support to the organs within the ventral cavity.
