The dorsal body cavity contains which organs?

Explanation:
The nucleus of this concept is where the dorsal body cavity lies: it houses the brain and spinal cord, organized into the cranial cavity for the brain and the vertebral (spinal) cavity for the spinal cord. The lungs and heart sit in the thoracic part of the ventral body cavity, while the stomach and intestines are in the abdominal part of the ventral cavity, and the kidneys and bladder are also within the ventral (abdominopelvic) region. So, the dorsal cavity specifically contains the brain and spinal cord, not the kidneys and bladder.
