91
Q

What is the sagittal plane

A

Parallel to the longitudinal axis, so it extends from head to feet for humans. A sagittal plane separates the body into right and left sides

92
Q

What is a frontal, or coronal plane

A

Perpendicular to a sagittal plane. It separates the body into anterior and posterior sides for humans

93
Q

What is the transverse or horizontal plane

A

Separates the body into superior and inferior sides

Q

What is serous tissue

A

A type of thin tissue that secretes a watery lubricating substance

106
Q

What is the serous tissue of the abdomen

A

Peritoneum

107
Q

What is parietal peritoneum

A

The serous tissue lining the inside walls of the abdomen and pelvis

108
Q

What is visceral peritoneum

A

The serous tissue that covers the surface of the abdomen and pelvic organs

109
Q

What is a mesentery

A

Another category of serous tissue in the abdomen
When two sheets of visceral peritoneum come together and join apart from the organ
Two layers
Also called ligaments
When they separate again to run along the body wall, they become parietal peritoneum

110
Q

What is the greater omentum

A

A large sac of mesentery between the abdominal organs and ventral body wall - it is connected to the greater curvature of the stomach
- sometimes referred to as the “fat curtain” that hangs from the stomach

111
Q

What is the lesser omentum

A

The thin, typically translucent, mesentery stretching from the lesser curvature of the stomach and the duodenum to the liver. Also contains the common bile duct and the portal vein

112
Q

What is the mesentery proper

A

The tissue that connects the coils of the ileum and jejunum to the body wall
Ensures that the small intestine folds nicely and is tied down in the abdomen
