35
Q

What is the peritoneum?

A

thin layer of tissue that secretes a little fluid to decrease the surface area

36
Q

What supply the somatic sensory innervation of the body wall?

A

intercostal nerves

37
Q

Is the peritoneum pain sensitive?

A

the parietal peritoneum is

38
Q

What layer of the peritoneum is on the body wall?

A

parietal peritoneum

39
Q

What layer of the peritoneum is on the organs themselves?

A

visceral peritoneum

40
Q

What is the mesentary?

A

the bridge between visceral and parietal peritoneum

41
Q

Where does the gut tube begin developing?

A

in the posterior abdominal wall

42
Q

Is the visceral peritoneum pain sensitive?

A

no it is pain insensitive

43
Q

What are the two functions of the mesentary ?

A
  1. suspend organs
  2. conduit for nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatics
44
Q

What does it mean if an organ is secondarily retroperitoneal?

A

start as mesenteric organs and then fall back onto the body wall and one of the layers of peritoneal disappears

45
Q

What do all of the gut organs start as?

A

mesenteric

46
Q

Is gut organs fall back and become retroperitoneal, what is that called?

A

secondarily retroperitoneal

47
Q

What are primary retroperitoneal organs?

A

ones that are not in the digestive tract
(kidneys, aorta, other things)
