Anatomy: Thoracic and Abdominal Cavities

Heart = Middle part Lungs = Laterally located Trachea = Back Esophagus = Back

Upper part of peritoneal cavity = Stomach, duodenum, spleen, liver, gallbladder Lower part of peritoneal cavity = Small and large intestines Retroperitoneal cavity = Kidneys, ureters, large blood vessels Pelvic cavity = Bladder, urethra, rectum

Bladder and urethra = Middle region Rectum and prostate (in men) = Middle region Reproductive organs in females (uterus, uterine tubes, ovaries) = Middle region Large blood vessels and nerves = Pass through it laterally
