State
A vertebrate body holds two major cavities: the dorsal cavity, housing brain and spinal cord, and the ventral cavity, housing thoracic and abdominopelvic organs.
Show
The ventral cavity's abdominopelvic portion houses digestive and reproductive organs, distinct from its thoracic portion's heart and lungs.
Watch for
The dorsal and ventral cavities are separate spaces — a thoracic infection does not reach the dorsal cavity directly.
