GROSS ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -False. Proximal and distal are opposite definitions for references to point of attachment of a body part. A body cavity is a space within the body that contains and protects the internal organs. The cranial and spinal cavities are within the dorsal cavity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Figure 10.5. 2: The ventral cavity includes the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities and their subdivisions. The abdominopelvic cavity is further divided into abdominal and pelvic cavities. The dorsal cavity includes the cranial and spinal cavities.

Detailed explanation-3: -The dorsal cavity is at the posterior (or back) of the body, including both the head and the back of the trunk. The dorsal cavity is subdivided into the cranial and spinal cavities.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thoracic cavity–the space occupied by the ventral internal organs superior to the diaphragm. Abdominopelvic cavity–the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity in combination. Abdominal cavity–the space occupied by the ventral internal organs inferior to the diaphragm and superior to the pelvic cavity.

Detailed explanation-5: -The ventral cavity of the human body is divided into two main regions; the thoracic cavity, and the abdominopelvic cavity, each of which have additional subdivisions. The thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity are separated by the diaphragm.
