The peritoneum is the serous membrane that forms the lining of the abdominal cavity.
It's one continuous sheet of tissue, but there are to 2 kinds (or layers) of
peritoneum:
outer - parietal peritoneum; is attached to the abdominal wall.
inner layer - visceral peritoneum; is wrapped around the internal organs that are located inside the intraperitoneal cavity.
Between these layers is a potential space, refered to as the peritoneal cavity.
is the part of the peritoneum through which most abdominal organs are attached to the abdominal wall and supplied with blood and lymph vessels and nerves.

This membrane is called the peritoneum
What serous membrane covers the abdominal organs?
The Peritoneum is the serous membrane that lines the abdominal cavity. The parietal peritoneum lines the abdominal wall, and the visceral peritoneum lines the outside of the organs within the cavity.
The viseral and parietal peritoneum line the abdominal cavity.

The pleura.
The Mesentery membrane.
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.
NAME THE VENTRAL CAVITY THAT HAS NO BBONY PROTECTION
The peritoneal cavity is the space between the visceral and parietal peritoneum in the abdominal cavity.
Yes, each serous membrane forms an inner visceral layer that covers the organs in the cavity. And the visceral pericardium is a serosa membrane associated with the heart.
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.
A membrane covering the abdominal cavity.
The abdominal cavity is lined with a protective membrane termed the peritoneum. The inside wall is covered by the parietal peritoneum.
The Mesentery membrane.
The peritoneum is a type of serous membrane lining the abdominal cavity and covering its organs.
The abdominal cavity can be examined in a couple of different ways. The procedure to directly visualize the abominal cavity is called a laparotomy, and a laparoscopy is a procedure where the abdominal cavity is visualized using scopes.
That is called the diaphragm.
Peritoneal dialysis.
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.
peritoneum
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.
The peritoneum is the membrane lining the abdominal cavity.
