What is the peritoneum?

Answer 1

serous membrane that lines the the abdomiopelvic cavity

Question 2

What are the parts of the peritoneum?

Answer 2

parietal peritoneum- loosely connected to the abdominopelvic wall
visceral peritoneum - lines viscera in abdominopelvic cavity

Question 3

What does both peritoneum consist of?

Answer 3

mesothelium

Question 4

what is the somatic innervation and vascularation of the parietal peritoneum?

Answer 4

Same that supplies the wall that overlies it

Question 5

what is the innervation and vascularation of the visceral peritoneum?

Answer 5

same as the viscera it covers

Question 6

What is the visceral peritoneum sensitive to?

Answer 6

Is insensitive to touch, cold, heat, and laceration.

Has no somatic afferents

Question 7

What are the sensory pain fibers of the visceral peritoneum carried by?

Answer 7

Sensory pain fibers carried by thoracic and lumbar splanchnics

Question 8

What does the visceral peritoneum also covers?

Answer 8

messenteries

Question 9

What is the relationship of the viscera to the peritoneum cavity?

Answer 9

intraperitoneal
retroperitonel
secondarily retroperitoneal

Question 10

What intraperitoneal viscera?

Answer 10

Covered almost completely with the visceral peritoneum

Question 11

What is retroperitineal viscera?

Answer 11

Covered on one surface with visceral peritoneum.

Question 12

what is secondarily retroperitoneal?

Answer 12

Organs that started out as intraperitoneal, but had a retroperitoneal position later in development.

Question 13

What is the peritoneal cavity?

Answer 13

potential space that lies between the parietal and visceral layers of the peritoneum

Question 14

What part of the embryo is the peritoneum a part of?

Answer 14

major part of the intraembryonic coelom.

Question 15

how is the peritoneum attached to the extra embryonic ceolem?

Answer 15

Connected with the extraembryonic coelom at the umbilicus.

Question 16

What is inside of the peritoneum cavity?

Answer 16

contains NO ORGANS but has peritoneal fluid which lubricates the surfaces.
contains leukocytes and antibodies that resist infection

Question 17

in who is h peritoneal cavity connected?

Answer 17

females - connected by uterine tubes, uterine cavity, and vagina. potential of infection
completely closed in males

Question 18

during development what does the intraembryonic ceoleom provide room for?

Answer 18

Intraembryonic coelom provides room for the intraabdominal organs to develop and move to their final positions.

Question 19

during development what does the extra embryonic ceoleom allow for?

Answer 19

Extraembryonic coelom allows midgut herniation into the umbilical cord.
it is longer than the body so protrusion happens to give organs room to grow
