between
_____ ______ is the continuous area of all visceral and parietal peritoneal membranes.
Peritoneal Sac
_____ ______ is a potential space within the sac.
- contains only a small amount of serous fluid
- allows organs to move freely w/out friction (peristalsis)
Peritoneal Cavity
Liters of fluid pertaining to the actual space in the Peritoneal Cavity:

double layers (pockets) of peritoneum
____ _____: attaches to greater curvature of stomach and transverse colon
Greater Omentum
_____ ______: drapes over small intestines like an “apron”
Greater Omentum
“Apron” of the Greater Omentum is from what ligament?
gastrocolic ligamen

4 layers of peritoneum
______ _______: functionally it can wall off infections and inflammation sites
Greater Omentum
-resulting in the formation of adhesion (BAD=limit mobility)
