Explanation:

Question 5 (Body Cavities - Surgery and Cavity Matching)

1. Surgery to remove a cancerous lung lobe

The lungs are located in the thoracic cavity, which is part of the ventral cavity. So the cavity to open is thoracic (and ventral as thoracic is a subdivision of ventral).

Ovaries are in the abdominopelvic cavity (specifically pelvic part, but abdominopelvic is the broader cavity here), which is ventral.

Intervertebral disks are in the spinal cavity, which is a subdivision of the dorsal cavity.

Answer:

1. thoracic, ventral

2. Removal of an ovary
