THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -The peritoneum is comprised of 2 layers: the superficial parietal layer and the deep visceral layer. The peritoneal cavity contains the omentum, ligaments, and mesentery. Intraperitoneal organs include the stomach, spleen, liver, first and fourth parts of the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, transverse, and sigmoid colon.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your visceral peritoneum folds upon itself as it wraps around your organs, creating double layers and pouches here and there. A large double layer called the omentum covers the front of your abdomen like an apron. A double layer in the back called the mesentery attaches your intestines to your back abdominal wall.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The above statement, “The peritoneal cavity is located between the visceral peritoneum and the mesentery” is a false statement. The peritoneal cavity is actually located between the visceral peritoneum and the parietal peritoneum.

Detailed explanation-4: -The mesentery is a fold of membrane that attaches the intestine to the abdominal wall and holds it in place. Mesenteric lymphadenitis is an inflammation of the lymph nodes in the mesentery.
