Which body cavity contains the brain?

  • A.Thoracic cavity
  • B.Cranial cavity
  • C.Abdominal cavity
  • D.Pelvic cavity

Answer: B

The brain is contained in the cranial cavity.

The cranial cavity is formed by the bones of the skull. Together with the vertebral canal, which holds the spinal cord, it makes up the dorsal body cavity.

The thoracic cavity holds the lungs and heart. The abdominal cavity holds the stomach, intestines and liver. The pelvic cavity holds the urinary bladder and the reproductive organs. All three belong to the ventral body cavity, at the front of the body.
