Respuesta :

I believe the correct answer is The thoracic cavity contains the heart and lungs. it is found anterior to the vertebral cavity.

Explanation:

The thoracic cavity is the space on the upper region of the body starting from the neck and ending where the diaphragm ends enclosing the lower part of the thoracic cavity.

Further Explanation:

The thoracic cavity contains several organs. It includes the heart and lungs that are anterior to the spinal cord and superior to the diaphragm. They are enclosed in the thoracic cavity. The lungs are anterior to the heart and the heart is medial to the lungs and the rib cage. The cavity contains 12 ribs 7 of which attach directly to the sternum directly, 3 attach to the sternum via cartilages and the final 2 do not attach to the sternum at all and are called floating ribs. The ribs articulate with the spinal cord in the thoracic vertebrae bones of the spinal cord.

Stomach and liver are found in the abdominal cavity. The stomach is superior to the liver and the liver is anterior to the stomach and intestines. The intestines are posterior to the liver and inferior to the stomach. The kidneys and spleen are also in the abdominal cavity but the kidney is inferior to the stomach and posterior to the spleen and kidneys on the left and right sides of the body. The abdominal cavity spaces around the organs are filled with the core muscles that attach to the posterior spine and the ribs vertically, horizontally and across the abdominal region. An example of the core muscle is the rectus abdominis better known as "six packs" because it is divided into 6 regions and exercise just exaggerates the regions to make it appear as 6 different muscles. The muscles attach to one another and to bones via connective tissue.
