Explanation
The backside of human body is known as dorsal side while the side where diaphragm and ribs are present is known as ventral side. The cavity present on the ventral side is known as ventral cavity. It contains important organelles of the body and is further divied into:
1. Thoracic Cavity
It is also known as chest cavity separate the upper part from lower through diaphragm. It is a house for esophagus, trachea, heart and its associated blood vessels.

It is house for kidneys, gallbladder, liver, small intestine and part of large intestine.
b. Pelvic cavity
it is house for colon, rectum. Reproductive organs and urinary bladder.
Answer;
-The thoracic
-The abdominopelvic cavity
The ventral body cavity is subdivided into the thoracic and the abdominopelvic cavities.
Explanation;
-The ventral cavity has two subdivisions. The superior division is called the thoracic cavity. The thoracic cavity is surrounded by the ribs and muscles in the chest. it is further subdivided into lateral preural cavities (each pleural cavity envelopes a lung) and the mediastinum.
-The inferior division of the ventral body cavity is called the abdominopelvic cavity and is separated from the thoracic cavity by the diaphragm. The abdominopelvic cavity is also separated into two subdivisions, the abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity.
