Study Notes
Body Cavities
- Body organs reside within dorsal and ventral cavities.
- The dorsal cavity holds the brain (cranial cavity) and spinal cord (spinal cavity).
- The thoracic cavity, above the abdominal cavity, is separated by the diaphragm.
- The diaphragm is a breathing muscle.
- The abdominal and pelvic cavities are contiguous, forming the abdominopelvic cavity.
- The peritoneum is a membrane lining the abdominopelvic cavity, covering internal organs.
Abdominal Regions
- The abdomen can be divided into nine regions: three medial and six lateral.
- Epigastric region is above the stomach.
- Umbilical region is centered around the navel.
- Hypogastric region is below the stomach.
