What are the organs in the abdominopelvic cavity?

The abdominopelvic cavity is a body cavity that consists of the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity. It contains the stomach, liver, pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, kidneys, and most of the small and large intestines. It also contains the urinary bladder and internal reproductive organs.

What separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominopelvic cavity?

The diaphragm
The diaphragm is a thin dome-shaped muscle which separates the thoracic cavity (lungs and heart) from the abdominal cavity (intestines, stomach, liver, etc.).

Which bony landmark is located on the distal medial side of the humerus?

Distally, the humerus becomes flattened. The prominent bony projection on the medial side is the medial epicondyle of the humerus. The much smaller lateral epicondyle of the humerus is found on the lateral side of the distal humerus.

Which bony landmark of the humerus articulates with the ulna to form the elbow joint?

trochlea
The distal end of the humerus has two articulation areas, which join the ulna and radius bones of the forearm to form the elbow joint. The more medial of these areas is the trochlea, a spindle- or pulley-shaped region (trochlea = “pulley”), which articulates with the ulna bone.

What are pelvic landmarks?

The bony pelvis is composed of the ilium, ischium, pubic bones and sacrum. The two most important landmarks are the ischial spines and the sacral promontory, which can be felt with the fingers during a vaginal examination.

Which is the most anterior bony landmark on the scapula?

The costal (anterior) surface of the scapula faces the ribcage. It contains a large concave depression over most of its surface, known as the subscapular fossa. The subscapularis (rotator cuff muscle) originates from this fossa.

Which of the following is a bony articulation for the scapula?

Which of the following is a bony articulation for the scapula? Yes, the acromion forms a joint with the clavicle.
