🗑
ABDOMINOPELVIC CAVITY PARTS   Abdominal and Pelvic  
🗑
ABDOMINAL (ABDOMINOPELVIC)   Bordered superiorly by the diaphragm and inferiorly by a horizontal plane between the superior ridges of the hip bones. Associated with the abdominal viscera incl stomach, spleen, liver, pancreas, small intestine, most of large intestine, kidneys, ureters  
🗑
PELVIC (ABDOMINOPELVIC)   Region located between the hip bones and interior to a horizontal plane between the superior ridges of the hip bones. Assoc with the pelvic viscera, incl urinary bladder and uretha, internal reprod organs, some of the lg intestine  
🗑
CAVITY MEMBRANES   Thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities are lined by a thin SEROUS membrane  
🗑
SEROUS MEMBRANE's two continuous parts (layers):   Parietal (wall) layer and Visceral (organ) layer  
🗑
PARIETAL LAYER   Lines the internal surface of the body wall  
🗑
VISCERAL LAYER   Covers the external surface of organs in the cavity  
🗑
SEROUS FLUID   Fluid produced by the serous membrane that serves to lubricate the organs and protect against friction  
🗑
PERICARDIAL CAVITY   The space in between the Visceral Pericardium and the Parietal Pericardium. Contains serous fluid  
🗑
VISCERAL PERICARDIUM   That part that is in contact with the heart  
🗑

🗑
PERITONEUM   The serous membrane of the the Abdominopelvic Cavities  
🗑
VISCERAL PERITONEUM   In contact with the outer surface of the organs in these two cavities  
🗑

🗑
PARIETAL PLEURA   Lines the Pleura Cavity Wall  
🗑
PLEURAL CAVITY   The space in between the Visceral Pleura and the Parietal Pleura. Secretes pleural fluid.  
🗑
PERITONEUM   The serous membrane of the Abdominopelvic Cavities  
🗑
VISCERAL PERITONEUM   Is in contact with the outer surface of the organs  
🗑
PARIETAL PERITONEUM   Lining the internal walls of these two cavities and not directly in contact with the organs  
🗑
