Cavities of the human body 1-5/2-3

1-5

100

Serous membrane

: A thin layer that covers the organs and lines the body cavities.

200

The inner and outer layer of the serous membrane is called

: Inner= Visceral layer,

Outer= Parietal layer

300

What typically fills the inside of the cavity:

Serous fluid

400

What are the two cavities that make up the posterior/dorsal cavity?

The cranial cavity and the vertebral cavity.

500

What are the two cavities that make up the anterior/ventral cavity?

The thoracic cavity and the abdominopelvic cavity.

1-5

100

What are the 4 cavities that make up the thoracic cavity, and what are the 2 cavities that make up the abdominopelvic cavity?

Thoracic:pleural x2, mediastinal , pericardial

Abdominopelvic: abdominal cavity, pelvic cavity

200

Describe the cavities’ relative organization using directional terminology.

1.Pelvic Cavity is Medial to the Abdominal cavity

2.Pleural Cavity is Lateral to Pericardial Cavity

3.Mediastinal is Superior to Pericardial

Describe theprimary function of the following organelles:

100

Nucleus

 The control center of the cell. Contains the cell DNA and directs cells activities.

Its the boss that holds all the information and gives instruction

200

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum: 

 

produces lipids, detoxifies harmful substances, and stores calcium ions. Its a multitasker in the cell.

300

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

Its covered in ribosomes, giving it a bumpy appearance. Its responsible for protein synthesis and transportation 

400

Golgi apparatus

cells postal service, receives, modifies, and packages proteins and lipids for transport to their final destinations. A hub that ensures everything gets sorted and delivered to the right place.

500

Mitochondria 

They produce energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. They're like little energy factories that keep the cell running.

2-3

100

Lysosomes

A cells recycling center.  Contains enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.They're the cleanup crew that keeps the cell tidy and clean  of junk!

200

Ribosomes

They are the hard working employees at the cells protein factory. They read the instructions from the mRNA and assemble amino acids into proteins. They  that make sure protein production runs smoothly. 

300

Cytoskeleton

The cells internal scaffolding. Provides structure, support, and helps with cell movement. Its's the framework that keeps everything in place and allows the Cell to function properly.
