Which cavity is located inferior to the abdominal cavity?

Question

 It's a question that's going to be on my final, and I need an aswer, and the sooner the better. Thanks

Answer 1

The cavity that is located inferior to the abdominal cavity is the pelvic cavity. The pelvic cavity is located below the abdominal cavity and contains organs such as the bladder, rectum, and reproductive organs.

Answer 2

technically the answer is the pelvic cavity, however there is no separation it is all one cavity often referred to as the peritoneal cavity.

above the cavity is the thoracic cavity and that separated from the abdominal cavity by the diaphragm, the muscle used to breathe.

Behind the peritoneal cavity lies the retroperitoneal cavity which is separated from the peritoneal cavity by the retroperitoneum, which has two layers. the pancreas,The Esophagus, part of the stomach, the kidneys, the adrenal glands, the ureters, parts of the colon are in this cavity.

Answer 3

The pelvic cavity is inferior to the abdominal cavity. It is important to pay attention to the anatomical directional term such as inferior, superior, anterior, posterior, medial, lateral, proximal, distal, etc.

Answer 4

Hi Crystal! That would be the pelvic cavity. While the thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity are separated by the diaphragm, there is nothing physically separating the abdominal cavity from the pelvic cavity. The pelvic brim can help "draw the line" so-to-say.

Answer 5

The Pelvic Cavity

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

It is pelvic cavity supported by pelvic girdle. Please look at the images in anatomy text book to have a visual image in your mind.
