ANATOMY 1 MIDTERM AAMI EXAM(ACTUAL
2025) QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED CORRECT
ANSWERS
parietal
relates to or forming the outer wall of a body cavity
Visceral
pertains to organs; or the covering of an organ
Internal
within the body; pertaining to the inside of the body, the
opposite of external.
thoracic cavity
is the superior portion of the ventral cavity and is surrounded
by ribs to protect the vital organs. It contains 3 additional
cavities: the mediastinum (which is the central portion of the
thorax); pleural cavities; and the pericardial cavity.
Mediastinum

ANSWERS
is a broad, median partition. It is a space that is located
between the lungs and extends from the sternum (in front) to
the vertebral column (in the back) and from the neck to the
diaphragm. It contains the heart, esophagus, and trachea.
pleural cavity
are fluid filled spaces (there are 2; 1 for each lung) situated
between the visceral and parietal pleurae of the lungs. The
term pleura refer to the serous membrane that covers the lungs
and lines the walls of the chest and diaphragm. This will be
discussed further in Learning Unit 2.5 on Membranes.
pericardial cavity
a small fluid filled space surrounding the heart.
abdominopelvic cavity
extends from the diaphragm to the groin. It is encircled by the
abdominal wall and bones and muscles of the pelvis.

2025) QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED CORRECT
ANSWERS
pelvic cavity
is the inferior portion. It is bounded more completely by bone
than the abdominal cavity. Organs in this cavity include the
urinary bladder, sigmoid colon and internal male and female
reproductive organs
abdominal cavity
the superior portion of the abdominopelvic cavity which
contains the following organs: stomach, small intestines, part
of the large intestines, liver, gall bladder, spleen, pancreas,
kidneys and the adrenal (suprarenal) glands.
posterior cavity
The second principle cavity is the posterior or dorsal cavity
located near the dorsal or posterior (back) surface of the body.
It has two subdivisions:
spinal cavity
is formed by the bones of the vertebral column and contains
the spinal cord and the medulla oblongata of the brain (part of
the brainstem).
