Which cavity is located inferior to the abdominal cavity?
What cavity in the lower abdominal cavity called
What is the multilayered membrane that protects and holds the organs in place within the abdominal cavity called?
It is called The Omentum. It is a fold of THE Peritonium extending from the stomach to adjacent abdominal organs.
What is the abdominal cavity enclosed by?
The abdominal cavity is lined with a protective membrane termed the peritoneum. The inside wall is covered by the parietal peritoneum.
Which type of membrane is found around the abdominal organs?
The peritoneum is a type of serous membrane lining the abdominal cavity and covering its organs.
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 is the muscular membrane that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity in the human body?
That is called the diaphragm.
Membrane surrounding the abdominal cavity?
The membrane that is found in the abdominal cavity is called serous membrane. It composes the visceral and parietal peritoneum and also has extensions called mesenteries, including the greater and lesser omentums.
The is a muscular membrane that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity?
The diaphragm is a dome shaped muscular membrane that separates the abdominal cavity from the thoracic cavity. Its contraction and relaxation serves an important role in respiration.
Where is the peritonuem located?
A membrane covering the abdominal cavity.

Double layered membrane that holds abdominal organs in place?
The Mesentery membrane.

What serous membrane covers the surface of the abdominal organs?
Viscera denotes the organs in the body cavities. (The heart confined in the Pericardial cavity, the lungs in the Pleural cavity, and the abdominal organs in the Peritoneal cavity). Visceral membrane (visceral serosa) covers those organs.
What is the type of peritonial sac in animal?
The peritoneum is the membrane lining the abdominal cavity.
