Abdominal cavity
The abdominal cavity is the
body cavity of the human body (and other animal bodies) that holds the bulk of the
viscera and which is located below (or
inferior to) the
thoracic cavity, and above the
pelvic cavity.Organs of the abdominal cavity include the
stomach,
liver,
gallbladder,
spleen,
pancreas,
urinary bladder,
small intestine and
large intestine. (The
kidneys are located not in the abdominal cavity but behind it, in the
retroperitoneum.)The abdominal cavity is lined with a protective membrane termed the
peritoneum. The viscera are also covered, in the front, with a fatty layer called the
omentum (or omental apron).
