Which structure attaches to the liver to the anterior abdominal wall and diaphragm?
Falciform ligament
Is the liver in the visceral peritoneum?
On the surface of the ovary, the peritoneal epithelium becomes cuboidal (low columnar) and hence, it appears that there is no peritoneal covering beyond the hilum of the ovary (the simple squamous epithelium of the peritoneum stops at the anterior border of the ovary). This is why the ovary is said to be intraperitoneal (ie inside the peritoneal cavity).

Where is the retro perineal cavity located?
The retroperitoneal cavity is located immediately posterior to the abdominal cavity (behind). It contains the kidneys (and so also the adrenal glands), the pancreas, and the abdominal aorta and vena cava. The walls of the abdominal cavity are covered with a serous membrane, called the peritoneum, as are most internal organs. The fluid in the membrane protects these structures and reduces friction between the organs and the cavity walls as well as between the organs themselves. The retroperitoneal space is separated from the peritoneal space by this layer of membrane covering the anterior organs e.g. liver, stomach, intestines. Both spaces are within the abdominal cavity.
What body cavity is the kidneys in?
The kidneys are located in the peritoneal cavity. Infection of this cavity is called peritonitis, and can be deadly. Dialysis can be done by instilling dianeal solution into the peritoneal cavity, and allowing the semipermiable membranes surronding the kidneys, and other organs to "clean themselves." This process is called peritoneal dialysis.
Is the liver the largest parenchymal organ in the abdominal cavity?
