These are all part of the head or skull. The cavities of the skull surround and protect the brain and sensory organs. There are five kinds of cavities of the skull which are:

nasal cavity (paranasal sinuses is included here) - The nasal septum split the respiratory system into two lateral halves, the nasal cavity is also part of the respiratory system.

cranial cavity - The large cranial cavity is split into a posterior cranial fossa and an anterior cranial fossa, a middle cranial fossa. Its function is to support the brain.

oral cavity - The oral, or buccal, cavity (commonly called the mouth) is a cavity of the head rather than a cavity of the skull because of its fleshy and muscular floor.

orbital cavity - supports and defends an eyeball and its linked muscle, vessels, and nerves.

middle ear cavity - From outer to inner, three small bones-malleus, incus, and stapes are situated within the middle-ear cavities in the petrous part of the temporal bones.
