what is peritoneum
serous membrane containing most of abdo viscera. produces serous fluid, facilitate movement lower GI against each other
what are two layers peritoneum
parietal
peritoneum, that lines the wall of the abdominopelvic cavity, and
the visceral peritoneum, which covers the surface of most of the
abdominal and pelvic viscer
peritoneal ligament
connects two abdominal organs together
mesentery
connects small intestine to posterior abdo wall
meso
connects different parts of large intestine to posterior abdo wall
omentum
attached to stomach
intraperitoneal organs
completely covered by visceral peritoneum
retroperitoneal organs
located btw parietal peritoneum and posterior abdominal wall
peritoneal cavity in M vs F
slim space between parietal and visceral
layers of the peritoneum
contains serous fluid to lubricate the surfaces of the abdominal contents.
The peritoneal cavity is
an enclosed sac in males
in females it is connected with exterior
via the cavity of the uterine tubes, uterus and vagina.
what are the three types of peritoneal reflections
peritoneal ligament: connect abdo viscera to abdo walls or other organs (i.e. falciform ligament, connects liver to ant abdo wall and diaphragm)
- mesenteries: connect small intestine (except duodenum), transverse colon, sigmoid colon, appendix to posterior abdo wall
3.omenta: stretched btw stomach and other organs
greater omentum connects greater curvature of stomach to transverse mesocolon
lesser omentum connects liver to small curvature of stomach and first part duodenum
what sensitizes the parital peritoneum
afferent somatic fibres (phrenic, lower intercostal)
what sensitizes visceral peritoneum
afferent autonomic fibres
fxn peritoneal reflections
passageway for blood vessels, nerve, lymphatic vessels. avoid entanglement
