| What makes up the Peritoneal Cavity? | 1. Pariteal Peritoneum
2. Visceral Peritoneum
3. Fluid |
| What is the Peritoneum? | the peritoneum is a serous membrane.
includes 2 portions |
| What makes of the Peritoneum? | 1. Visceral Peritoneum
2. Parietal Peritoneum |
| Define the function of the Visceral Peritoneum? | surrounds the digestive organs.
- protection |
| Define the function of the Parietal Peritoneum? | Lines the body wall
- protection |
| Define Mesentary | Mesentery is a double layer of peritoneum and is in charge of holding organs in place, stores fat, and provides a route for circulatory vessels and nerves. |
| Where can Ventral Mesentaries be found? | Ventral mesentery can be found covering portions of our esophagus, the stomach and the upper part of the duodenum, the liver.
- growth of the liver divides the ventral mesentery into 2 portions |
| On the liver, what does the ventral mesetery divide into | 1. Falciform ligament
2. Lesser omentum |
| Define the Falciform Ligament | The falciform ligament binds the anterior part of the liver to the anterior portion of the abdominal wall.
Separates the right and left love of the liver |
| Define the Lesser Omentum | The lesser omentum is a 2 layered fold of peritoneum which attaches the liver to the lesser curvature of the stomach |
| Where can Dorsal mesenteries be found? | dorsal mesentery forms the greater omentum, covers our colon area, etc. |
| What are example of Dorsal Mesentaries? | 1. Greater omentum
2. Transverse mesocolon
3. Sigmoid mesocolon |
| Define the greater omentum | The greater omentum is 4 layered and connects the greater curvature of the stomach to the posterior portion of the abdominal wall.
- hangs like an apron in front of small intestine
- is folded back and attaches to transverse colon |
| Define the Transverse mesocolon | The transverse mesocolon holds the transverse colon in place |
| Define the Sigmoid mesocolon | the sigmoid mesocolon connects the sigmoid colon to the posterior pelvic wall |
