Answers
The abdomen and the abdominal cavity are just the same when used by the layman. Basically, the abdomen is just the area that you can see which lies in between the pelvis and the chest while the abdominal cavity is the space beneath the abdomen.
Abdomen and Stomach are two major body parts for animals. The stomach is a part of the abdomen and together they help to absorb and digest the food taken. Apart from the stomach, the abdomen also contains other organs such as small intestine, colon and Liver. Both of the organs are separated from Chest with the diaphragm, and the inner wall of these organs is muscular, and interconnected with other organs. They both differ in terms of their functionality and anatomy.
The abdominal wall is split into the posterior (back), lateral (sides) and anterior (front) walls. Whereas the Stomach, a “J” shaped organ, is split in Anterior wall, curvature, cardiac, angular notch, pyloric canal, gastric canal and rugal fold.
