Body Cavities Diagram With Organs. There are two major cavities of the body which contain internal organs. This cavity is the true coelom as it forms during human embryogenesis from the mesoderm.
Body cavities are spaces inside the body which contain protect separate and support internal organs. The body cavities are lined with thin sheets of tissue called membranes which cover and protect the various organs. Bones of the cranial portion of the skull and vertebral column toward the posterior dorsal.
The walls of the ventral body cavity and outer covering of its organs contain a thin covering called the serosa also called serous membrane.
The two largest human body cavities are the ventral cavity and the dorsal cavity. A body cavity is any space or compartment or potential space in the animal body. At first it is a single cavity. The body cavities protect as well as cushion the contained organs and permit changes in their size and shape without affecting surrounding tissues.
