Study Notes
Body Cavities
- The human body has two main cavities: dorsal cavity and ventral cavity
- Dorsal cavity is divided into cranial cavity and vertebral cavity
- Cranial cavity contains the brain, while vertebral cavity contains the spinal cord
- Ventral cavity is divided into thoracic cavity, abdominopelvic cavity, and pelvic cavity
- Thoracic cavity is further divided into pleural cavity and pericardial cavity
- Pleural cavity contains lungs, while pericardial cavity contains the heart
- Abdominopelvic cavity is divided into abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity
- Abdominal cavity contains digestive organs, while pelvic cavity contains bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum
Serous Membranes
- Ventral cavities are lined with serous membranes, which are thin, double-layered membranes
- Visceral layer of serous membrane covers organs, while parietal layer lines the wall of the cavity
- Serous fluid is produced, which reduces friction as organs move
