Explanation:

The lungs are in the thoracic cavity and surrounded by the pleural cavity, so for lung - lobe removal, the thoracic and pleural cavities are opened. The spleen and liver are in the abdominopelvic cavity and the peritoneal cavity surrounds abdominal organs, so for spleen and liver operations, the abdominopelvic and peritoneal cavities are opened. The heart is in the thoracic cavity and the pericardial cavity surrounds the heart, so for heart bypass surgery, the thoracic and pericardial cavities are opened. The large intestine is in the abdominopelvic and peritoneal cavities, so for large - intestine segment removal, the abdominopelvic and peritoneal cavities are opened.
