Ventral Body Cavity
 Larger than dorsal cavity
 Thoracic cavity (Contains _____________________________)
Separated from rest of ventral cavity by diaphragm
Further separated into right and left by _____________________
 Abdominopelvic cavity
_____________________________
Contains stomach, liver, intestines
