Which body cavity contains the stomach, liver, and gall bladder?

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

Answer: (A)

Digestive organs like the stomach, liver, and gallbladder reside in the abdominal cavity, a large space in the ventral body cavity that runs from the diaphragm down to the pelvic inlet and houses most of the digestive organs. The diaphragm separates this area from the thoracic cavity, which contains the heart and lungs, while the pelvic cavity below holds structures such as the bladder and reproductive organs. The cranial cavity contains the brain. So, the stomach, liver, and gallbladder are all located in the abdominal cavity.
