Pleural cavities | 2 spaces for lungs |
Pericardial cavity | heart space; also inferior mediastinum |
Superior mediastinum | space for esophagus, trachea superior and posterior to heart |
Abdominopelvic cavity – space for digestive and urogenital organs; superior = abdominal; inferior = pelvic | space for digestive and urogenital organs; superior = abdominal; inferior = pelvic |
