2. vertebral canal
Ventral
• Located anterior
1.Thoracic cavity2.
Abdominopelvic
Thoracic Cavity• Between rib cage and
vertebral column. There are 2 pleural cavities around lungs and 1 pericardial cavity around heart. The thoracic cavity includes heart, thymus, lungs, trachea, esophagus and major vessels of the heart
