Question
cranial cavity
thoracic cavity
mediastinum
abdominopelvic cavity
pelvic cavity
Identify the dorsal cavity subdivisions
Using the Body Cavities knowledge point, we identify the posterior (dorsal) cavities. The upper blue region is labeled "Cranial cavity". The narrow blue canal extending down the vertebral column is the vertebral canal, commonly known as the Spinal cavity. Together, the cranial cavity and spinal cavity are grouped into the posterior aspect, or the Dorsal cavity.
Identify the thoracic cavity subdivisions
Using the Thoracic Cavity Subdivisions knowledge point, we analyze the anterior (ventral) chest region. The thoracic cavity contains the mediastinum (middle region) and two lateral cavities containing the lungs. The line points to the lateral space surrounding the lung, which is the Pleural cavity.
Identify the abdominal cavity
The green region below the diaphragm and above the pink pelvic region is the Abdominal cavity.
Identify the combined ventral cavity
The bracket on the right groups the thoracic cavity and the abdominopelvic cavity (which contains the abdominal and pelvic cavities). Together, these anterior spaces form the Ventral cavity.

Based on the anatomical diagram of the human body cavities, the blank labels from top to bottom on the right side are:
- Spinal cavity (or Vertebral cavity) — pointing to the canal in the vertebral column.
- Pleural cavity — pointing to the lateral thoracic space surrounding the lung.
- Abdominal cavity — pointing to the upper green region of the abdominopelvic cavity.
- Dorsal cavity (or Posterior cavity) — the bracket on the far right grouping the cranial and spinal cavities.
- Ventral cavity (or Anterior cavity) — the bracket on the far right grouping the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.
