| body cavities? | fully enclosed fluid-filled sacs made of serous membrane |
| visceral membranes? | surround organs |
| parietal membranes? | connect to body wall |
| function of body cavities? | protect organs and tissues from shock and allow organs to change shape and size |
| thoracic cavity divides into how many smaller cavities? | 3 |
| what are the three cavities in the thoracic cavity? | one pericardial cavity and two pleural cavities |
| visceral pericardium? | direct contact with heart |
| parietal pericardium? | connects with thoracic body wall |
| what is the pericardial cavity filled with? | pericardial fluid |
| how is the pericardial cavity kept in position? | by the mediastinum |
| where does the heart sit? | pericardial cavity/sac |
| what sits in the mediastinum? | pericardial and pleural cavities |
| mediastinum? | connective tissue providing structure and anchoring to organs |
| what organs are in the mediastinum? | heart, great vessels, oesophagus, trachea, cardiac nerves, thymus and lymph nodes |

| what is the serous membrane of the abdominopelvic cavity called? | peritoneum |
| visceral peritoneum? | encloses organs |
| parietal peritoneum? | attaches to body wall |

| organs in the abdominal cavity? | liver, stomach, spleen, small intestine and majority of the large intestine |
| organs in the pelvic cavity? | distal end of the large intestine, urinary bladder and most reproductive organs |
| flexion? | decreases angle between articulating bones in the saggital plane |
| extension? | increases angle between articulating bone in the sagittal plane |
| hyperextension? | continuation of extension beyond anatomical position |
| abduction? | movement away from body in frontal (coronal) plane |
| adduction? | movement towards body in frontal (coronal) plane |

| pronation? | palm up to down |
| supination? | palm down to up |
| inversion? | sole towards midline (medial edge of sole is elevated) |
| eversion? | sole away from midline (distal edge of sole elevates) |
| dorsiflexion? | flexion where angle between top of foot and ankle decreases (toes up) |
| plantarflexion | extension of ankle to top of foot (tip toes) and a flexion between angle between heel and back of ankle |
