The peritoneal layer is the layer of tissues within the body that protects vital organs, particularly the intestines and surrounding organs.
Important peritoneal folds include the greater omentum, lesser omentum, mesentery, and mesocolon. The peritoneal lining itself is not considered an important peritoneal fold.
The simple squamous epithelium that lines the peritoneal cavity is called mesothelium. It is a single layer of flat cells that help protect and cushion the organs within the peritoneal cavity.

Yes, females have a peritoneal cavity. The peritoneal cavity is a space in the abdominal cavity that contains the abdominal organs such as the stomach, liver, and intestines. Both males and females have this cavity in their abdominal area.
Kidneys are retroperitoneal. There are in the abdominal cavity, but not in the peritoneal cavity.

Ovaries are considered retroperitoneal structures, as they are located behind the peritoneum, which is the lining of the abdominal cavity. However, they are often discussed in the context of the peritoneal cavity because they are suspended within the broad ligament of the uterus and have a close relationship with the peritoneal space. Thus, while anatomically they are retroperitoneal, their functional association is with the peritoneal cavity.

I don't think there is another name for the peritoneal cavity. the peritoneal cavity is specifically for the potential space between the parietal and visceral portions of the peritoneum. hope this helps ^_^
