Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ventral body cavity is a human body cavity that is in the anterior (front) aspect of the human body. It is made up of the thoracic cavity, and the abdominopelvic cavity. The abdominopelvic cavity is further divided into the abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity, but there is no physical barrier between the two.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ventral body cavity is made up of the superior thoracic cavity and the inferior abdominopelvic cavity. A diaphragm physically separates the two cavities. The ventral body cavity contains the various body organs called viscera.

Detailed explanation-3: -These anatomical terms can also describe different body cavities. The dorsal cavity contains the spinal cord, central nervous system, and spinal column, whereas the ventral cavity consists of the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities.

The abdominal cavity houses the digestive organs (stomach, liver, gallbladder, and small and large intestines). The organs in the abdominal cavity are surrounded by a double membrane called the peritoneum.
