Which of the following structures is part of the abdominal cavity?
  1. Lungs
  2. Internal reproductive organs
  3. Urinary bladder
  4. Heart
  5. Liver
Explanation
Answer - E - The liver is part of the abdominal cavity, along with the stomach, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, small intestine, and most of the large intestine. Unlike other cavities, the abdominal cavity is not protected by surrounding bone, which makes the organs of the abdominal cavity susceptible to severe injury. The heart and lungs are found in the thoracic cavity. The urinary bladder and internal reproductive organs are found in the pelvic cavity.
