Verified step by step guidance

Understand the term 'viscera': Viscera refers to the internal organs of the body, particularly those within the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.

Identify the thoracic cavity: The thoracic cavity is located in the chest and contains vital organs such as the heart and lungs.

Identify the abdominopelvic cavity: The abdominopelvic cavity is located below the thoracic cavity and houses organs such as the stomach, intestines, liver, and reproductive organs.

Compare the options provided: Evaluate each pair of cavities mentioned in the question to determine which ones contain viscera. For example, the cranial and vertebral cavities primarily house the brain and spinal cord, not viscera.

Select the correct answer: Based on the definitions and organ locations, the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities are the correct pair that contain viscera.
