the large cavity contained within the trunk of the body

the large cavity within the thorax, containing the thoracic viscera

the two cavities within the thorax, one on either side, containing the lungs

the cavity within the thorax, between the lungs. it is rectangular in shape and contains all of the thoracic viscera except the lungs. it is bounded by the sternum, anteriorly; by the thoracic vertebrae, posteriorly, by the lungs, laterally; by the base of the neck, superiorly; and by the diaphragm, inferiorly

the cavity within the pericardium

the cavity within the trunk of the body, between the diaphragm and the floor of the pelvis

that portion of the abdominal-pelvic cavity between the diaphragm and the superior border of the pelvis

that portion of the abdominal-pelvic cavity within the pelvis

• the cavity within the sac formed by the parietal Peritoneum
