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.
What is the epithelial membrane the lines the walls of the abdominal cavity called?
peritoneum
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.
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.
The is a muscular membrane that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity?

The Mesentery membrane.
What is the muscular membrane that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity in the human body?

Membrane surrounding the abdominal cavity?

In the human body the is a muscular membrane that sepates the thoracic from the abdominal cavity?
diaphragm
What muscle is separating the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity?
The thoracic cavity is separated from the abdominal cavity by the diaphragm. This is a broad flat muscle. (muscular) diaphragmThe diaphragm is a muscle that separate the thoracic from the abdominal cavity. The pelvis is the lowest part of the abdominal cavity and it has no physical separation from it Diaphragm
