What are the two vital functions of Body Cavities? - Answer- (1) they protect delicate
organs, (2) the permit significant changes in the size and shape of internal organs
The Ventral body cavity or coelom contains what organs? - Answer- All but is divided by
diaphragm and divided into two cavities
What are the cavities called that the diaphragm seperates? - Answer- (1)The thorasic
cavity and (2) the abdominopelvic cavity
Describe Thorasic cavity. - Answer- it is bounded by chest wall and holds the pair of
pleural cavities and pericardial cavity.
Describe the Abdominopelvic cavity. - Answer- It is enclosed by the abdominal wall and
by the bones and muscles of the pelvis
The organs in the thorasic and abdominopelvic cavities are lined by what moist internal
spaces? - Answer- Viscera
Serous membrane is? - Answer- A delicate layer that lines the walls of the thorasic and
abdominopelvic cavities and cover the surfaces of the enclosed viscera
What is the difference between the visceral layer and parietal layer? - Answer- The
portion of a serous membrane that covers a visceral organ is called the visceral layer;
the opposing layer that lines the inner surface of the body wall or chamber is called the
parietal layer
Each cavity in the Thorasic cavity is covered with what? - Answer- Serous membranes
What is in the pericardial cavity? - Answer- The heart
The Serous membrane that surroundes the heart is called? - Answer- Pericardium
The internal organs in the thorasic and abdominopelvic cavity are called? - Answer-
Viscera
The pericardium lies where inside thorasic cavity? - Answer- The mediastinum
, The serous membrane that lines the pleural cavity is called what? - Answer- Pleura
The visceral pleura covers what? - Answer- The outer layer of the lung
The parietal pleura covers? - Answer- The opposing surface of the mediastinum and the
inner body wall
Describe the abdominopelvic cavity. - Answer- It extends from the diaphragm to the
pelvis. Its subdivided a superior abdominal cavity and inferior pelvic cavity.
The abdominopelvic cavity hold what three cavities? - Answer- (1) The peritoneal cavity,
(2) Abdominal cavity, (3) Pelvic cavity
The peritoneal cavity is lined by a serous membrane known as? - Answer- The
peritoneum
Describe the Abdominal cavity. - Answer- It extends from the inferior surface of the
diaphragm to the level of the superior margins of the plvis. It contains the liver,
stromach, spleen, small intestine and most of the large intestine.
Describe the Pelvic cavity. - Answer- It is the protion of the ventral vody cavity inferior to
the abdominal cavity. It contains the distal protion of the large intestine, urinary bladder
and various reporductive organs

environment hazards; help control body temp.
The Skeletal system's primary function is? - Answer- Provides support; protect tissues;
store minerals; forms blood
What does the Skeletal system consist of? - Answer- Bones, cartilages, joints, and bone
marrow
The muscular system primary functions is to? - Answer- Allow locomotion; support and
produces heat
