Answer:

Thoracic cavity

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition for pleural cavity is: The space enclosed by the pleura, which is a thin layer of tissue that covers the lungs and lines the interior wall of the chest cavity.

Chest cavity or thoracic cavity is the space enclosed by the ribs, the vertebral column, sternum and is separated from the abdominal cavity (the body’s largest hollow space) by a muscular and membranous partition, the diaphragm.
