Question 5

The thoracic cavity is the chest cavity that houses the lungs and heart. The abdominal cavity holds digestive organs, the pelvic cavity holds reproductive and urinary organs, and the spinal cavity holds the spinal cord. So the correct option is the one with thoracic cavity.

• "cervic/o-" relates to the neck, "trachel/o-" to the neck or trachea.
• "ili/o-" to the ilium, "ile/o-" to the ileum.
• "cost/o" and "pleuro-" (pleuro - can relate to ribs in terms of pleural cavity around lungs, and cost/o means rib) are the terms for rib.
• "carp/o-" is for wrist, "tars/o-" for ankle. So the correct option is the one with cost/o and pleuro-.

Answer:

A. thoracic cavity (assuming the first option is labeled A, adjust label as per actual question's option numbering if different)
