Correct Answer
Dorsal
Dorsal cavity

Explanation
The term "dorsal" refers to the back or upper side of an organism. It is often used to describe the location or position of certain structures or body parts. In this context, "dorsal cavity" refers to the body cavity located along the back of the body, which contains the cranial cavity (housing the brain) and the vertebral cavity (housing the spinal cord). Therefore, "dorsal" and "dorsal cavity" are related terminologies that pertain to the back or upper side of an organism and the body cavity located in that region.

Correct Answer
Diaphragm cavity
Diaphragm

Explanation
The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. The diaphragm cavity refers to the space enclosed by the diaphragm. This cavity plays a crucial role in respiration as it contracts and relaxes to help with the movement of air in and out of the lungs. The diaphragm also aids in other bodily functions such as digestion and maintaining proper posture.

Correct Answer
Abdominal cavity
Abdominal

Explanation
The question is asking for the correct answer between "Abdominal cavity" and "Abdominal". The correct answer is "Abdominal cavity" because it refers to the space within the abdomen that contains various organs such as the stomach, liver, and intestines. "Abdominal" alone is not specific enough and could refer to anything related to the abdomen, whereas "Abdominal cavity" specifically refers to the internal space within the abdomen.
