what forms the peritoneum?
Parietal - somatic mesoderm
Visceral - Splanchnic mesoderm
what forms the mesenteries?
Dorsal and Ventral are BOTH from splanchnic mesoderm
what is the function/structure of mesenteries
double layer of peritoneum that suspends an organ from the body wall
What is the peritoneum?
