Introduction to the Bodies
Cavities
Medical Biology-Unit 3
ALL students will be able to…
 Write a ½-1 page summary
describing the major cavities of the
body that includes the major organs
in the cavities and which systems
they are a part of.

Organization of Body Cavities
 The organs of the body are
surrounded by membranes.
 These thin tissues similar to plastic bags
serve as protective barriers for the
organs.
 Each organ is “double bagged”
 The parietal membrane is lining the wall of
the cavity
 The visceral membrane is lining the organ
itself
Dorsal Cavity
 The spinal cord and brain are
contained within their own
membranes to prevent infectious
agents from entering the body’s
control center
 “Spinal Taps” are necessary to determine
chemical nature of spinal fluid
Ventral Cavity
 The diaphragm separates the thoracic
from the abdominopelvic cavities.
 At times, due to pressure, a breakage
in the abdominal cavities wall causes
a portion of the visceral
organs(usually the intestines) to poke
out of the cavity. This is called a
hernia.
Tissues are groups of cells with a
common structure and function.
Tissues are classified into four main
categories: epithelial tissue, connective
tissue, nervous tissue, and muscle
tissue.
Epithelial Tissue
Outside of body and lines organs and
cavities; held together by tight
junctions
Epithelial Descriptions:



Squamous=flat
Cuboidal=cube shape
Columnar=column shape
Simple= 1 layer
Stratified= many layers
Pseudostratified= looks like a few
layers, but actually only one.
What is it?
Connective Tissue
 The major types of connective tissues in
vertebrates are dense (fibrous) tissue,
loose connective tissue, adipose tissue,
fibrous connective tissue, cartilage, bone,
and blood.
Each has a
structure
correlated
with its
specialized
function.
Muscle Tissue
 Muscle cells or fibers capable of
contracting when stimulated by nerve
impulses
 Long multi-nucleated cells
 3 types of Muscular tissue:
 Skeletal: voluntary movement
(striated)
 Cardiac: contractile wall of heart
(branched striated)
 Smooth: involuntary activities (no
striations)
Nervous Tissue
 Senses stimuli and transmits signals from 1
part of the animal to another
 Nervous tissues are found in the brain, spinal
cord, and nerves.
2 types of cells:
 Neurons, or nerve cells, conduct nervous
impulses
 Neuroglia, Helper cells, support and nourish
the neurons.
What do You Remember?

for Mr. Smuts to ask you what the
tissue is before you answer.
