Yes, organs located within any body cavity are commonly referred to as viscera. Examples include organs within the thoracic (chest) cavity, abdominal cavity, and pelvic cavity.
The double layer sheets of serous membrane that support the viscera are called mesenteries. Mesenteries hold organs in place within the abdominal cavity and provide a pathway for blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics to reach the organs.
The serous membrane that covers the surface of the abdominal organs is called the peritoneum. It consists of two layers: the parietal peritoneum (which lines the abdominal wall) and the visceral peritoneum (which covers the abdominal organs).
Yes, the pelvic cavity is inferior to the abdominal cavity. The abdominal cavity sits above the pelvic cavity in the anatomical position.
Yes, the abdominopelvic cavity is anterior to the spinal cavity.

Viscera
The term for organs inside the ventral body cavity is visceral organs. These organs are located within the thoracic and abdominal cavities and include the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, and intestines.
A peritoneum is the serous membrane in mammals which lines the cavity of the abdomen and is folded over the viscera.
The rib cage provides the most protection to the abdominal viscera. The ribs wrap around the viscera, such as the liver and spleen, helping to shield them from external trauma. The sternum at the front of the rib cage also contributes to protecting the organs in the abdominal cavity.
Viscera denotes the organs in the body cavities. (The heart confined in the Pericardial cavity, the lungs in the Pleural cavity, and the abdominal organs in the Peritoneal cavity). Visceral membrane (visceral serosa) covers those organs. More info could be find on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serosa
Viscera refers to the internal organs in the main cavities of the body, especially those within the chest (such as the heart and lungs) and abdomen (such as the intestines and liver). These organs play vital roles in bodily functions like digestion, respiration, and circulation.
Internal organs are collectively called the Viscera (vis' er-ah; viscus = an organ in a body cavity) or Visceral organs. The Viscera covers and lines hollow organs in the body.
The double layer sheets of serous membrane that support the viscera are called mesenteries. Mesenteries hold organs in place within the abdominal cavity and provide a pathway for blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics to reach the organs.
the viscera
The singular form of viscera is viscus.
