Brain- Meninges- Cranial cavity The brain forms the central nervous system (CNS) along with the spinal cord. Meninges are membranes that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord. The brain is protected within the cranial cavity of the skull. Kidneys- Capsule- Abdominal cavity Kidneys are the main excretory organs in mammals. The outer membranous covering of the kidneys is called the capsule. The nephrons are the structural and functional units of kidneys. The kidneys are located in the abdominal cavity on either side of the vertebral column. Heart- Pericardium- Mediastinum The heart acts as the pumping organ that circulates blood throughout the body. The tough outer covering of the heart is called the pericardium. The mediastinum is the division of the thoracic cavity that contains the heart. Lungs- Pleura- Enclosed in the thoracic cavity Lungs are a pair of spongy organs that help in the exchange of respiratory gases, i.e., oxygen and carbon dioxide. The pleura is the outer membranous covering of the lungs. The lungs are enclosed in the thoracic cavity within the rib-cage. The thoracic cavity is separated from the abdominal cavity by the diaphragm.
