–Rectum
Double folds of peritoneum that anchor organs and provide pathway for neurovasculature
Mesenteries
Innervation of parietal peritoneum (general)
Somatic afferents (Sensitive, well-localized dermatomes)
Afferents from visceral peritoneum follow…
Sympathetic pathway (Complex, poorly-localized)
Greater omentum
Suspends liver from diaphragm
Coronary ligament:
Single layered, anterior and posterior portions, frame bare area of liver
Anchor liver to ant wall and seperates R and L lobes
Falciform ligament: double layered
Anchors jejunum and ileum to post wall
Mesentery proper:
Allows much movement
Highly vascular
Attaches liver to lesser curvature of stomach & prox.duodenu
Lesser omentum
Regions of lesser omentum
Omental bursa communicates with greater sac through…
epiploic foramen
Arterial trunks
