THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -Mesenteries are double layers of peritoneum in the abdominal cavity and are continuations of the visceral and parietal peritoneum with the serous membranes adhered back to back so that the outer mesothelium secretes serous fluid into the peritoneal cavity.

Detailed explanation-2: -The peritoneum is a serous membrane that consists of two layers: parietal peritoneum and visceral peritoneum (Figure 8-1A–C). The parietal peritoneum lines the internal walls of the abdominal cavity, forming a closed sac known as the peritoneal cavity.

Detailed explanation-3: -The peritoneum is comprised of 2 layers: the superficial parietal layer and the deep visceral layer.

Detailed explanation-4: -These double layers of peritoneum are the mesentery. Mesenteries carry neurovascular bundles through the fat between peritoneal layers to supply organs.
