Function of parietal layer of peritoneum
has pain fibers, lines body wall
Function of visceral layer of peritoneum
lacks pain fibers, covers viscera, autonomic innervation, can be sensed as referred pain
Referred pain is in reference to what layer of the peritoneum?
visceral
Definition of a mesentary
2 layers of peritoneum
Nerve supply to peritoneum supplies…..
pain and vasomotor fibers which can cause guarding from sharp stabbing pain when touched
T/F Visceral peritoneum is sensitive to touch, heat, cold, laceration
False, it is insensitive
What is visceral peritoneum sensitive to?
stretching and chemical irritation
What is the difference between intraperitoneal organs and retroperitoneal organs?
Intraperitoneal are suspended by a mesentary from the body wall and are surrounded by visceral pericardium
Retroperitoneal are deep to parietal peritoneum and covered by parietal peritoneum on ONE side
Primarily retroperitoneal vs Secondarily retroperitoneal
primary- never had a mesentary
secondary- had a mesentary but lost it at some point
What are the primary retroperitoneal organs?
kidney, ureters, adrenals, gonads, aorta and inferior vena cava
