Peritoneum & GI Tract Flashcards
parietal peritoneum pain?
- sensitive to pressure, laceration, temp
- pain well localized
visceral peritoneum pain?
- sensitive to stretching and chemical irritation
- pain poorly localized and referred to dermatomes
mesothelium
serous membrane of the peritoneum
peritoneum innervation
parietal?
visceral?
parietal - somatic innervation
visceral - visceral innervation
peritoneal cavity
potential space between parietal and visceral layers of the peritoneum
pneumoperitoneum
air in the peritoneal cavity
CC: where do uterine tubes open into in females? What does this cause?
uterine tubes open into the peritoneal cavity
makes a path for ascending infection
gravity dependent recesses of the greater sac
- hepatorenal recess
- recto-uterine pouch (females)
- rectovesical pouch (males)
mesentery
extension of peritoneum that connects an organ to body wall, has neurovasculature & lymphatics
ligament
extension of peritoneum that connects organs to other organs or the body wall
what travels within the hepatoduodenal ligament?

what makes up the portal triad?
bile duct, portal vein, hepatic artery
functions of greater omentum
insulation, cushion, wall off inflammatory processes

visceral peritoneum
what covers extraperitoneal organs?
