parietal peritoneum
covers the inner wall of the abdominal, pelvic, and scrotal cavities
visceral peritoneum
covers the organs suspended in these cavities
connecting peritoneum
double sheet of peritoneum that connects the parietal and visceral layers or the visceral layers of adjacent organs, forming peritoneal folds referred to as mesenteries, omenta, or ligaments
omentum
connecting peritoneum that attaches the stomch to the body wall or other organs
greater omentum
extended fold of dorsal mesogastrium, attaches the greater curvature of the stomach to the dorsal body wall
lesser omentum
part of the ventral mesogastrium, loosely spans the distance from the lesser curvature of the stomach to the porta of the liver
omental bursa
formed by the omental and the adjacent organs
epiploic foramen
opening into the main peritoneal cavity
mesoduodenum
originates at the dorsal abdominal wall and the root of the mesentery and extends to the duodenum
duodenocolic fold
ascending duodenum is secondarily attached to the mesocolon of the descending colon by this
mesentery
attaches to the abdominal wall opposite of the second lumbar vertebra
root of the mesentery
short periotneal attachment
ascending, transverse, and desending mesocolons
connect the ascending, transverse, and descending volons to the dorsal body wall
right triangular ligament
extends from the right crus of the diaphragm above the central tendinous part to the right lateral lobe of the liver
left triangular ligament
extends from the left crus of the diaphragm to the left lateral lobe of the liver
coronary ligament
sheet of peritoneum that passes between the diaphragm and the liver around the caudal vena cava and hepatic veins
