  1. Body Cavities and Membranes

  2. Body Cavities • 2 main cavities • Ventral Cavity • Dorsal Cavity

  3. The Ventral Cavity • Thoracic Cavity • Pleural Cavity • Containing the right and left lungs • Pericardial Cavity • Containing the heart

  4. Ventral Cavity • Abdominal Cavity • Contains digestive organs

  5. Dorsal Cavity • Cranial Cavity • Containing the Brain • Vertebral Canal • Containing the Spinal Cord

  6. Where is Susie’s Thoracic Cavity?

  7. Where is Susie’s Pleural Cavity?

  8. Where is Susie’s Abdominal Cavity?

  9. What are membranes?? • Thin lining or covering of organs

  10. Types of Membranes • Mucous Membranes • Lines the tubes of digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems • Secrete mucous for protection

  11. Types of Membranes • Serous membranes • Line thoracic and abdominal cavities • Secrete watery fluid to keep organs lubricated • Provides support and compartmentalizes organs

  12. Types of Membranes • Synovial membranes • Line freely movable joint cavities • Secrete fluid to lubricate ends of bones

  13. Types of Membranes • Meninges • Protective covering for brain and spinal cord
