Double folds of peritoneum are structures formed by two layers of peritoneal membrane coming together and attaching to other structures within the abdominal cavity. Examples include the omentum, Mesentery, and the ligaments that support organs like the liver and uterus. These folds help to anchor and support organs while allowing for flexibility and movement within the abdominal cavity.

There are five major peritoneal folds such as greater omentum, falciform ligament, lesser omentum, mesentery and mesocolon.
What is a fused double layer of the parietal peritoneum?
The mesentery is a fused double layer of the parietal peritoneum that attaches parts of the intestine to the interior abdominal wall.

Double layered membrane that holds abdominal organs in place?
The double layered membrane that holds abdominal organs in place is called the peritoneum. It lines the abdominal cavity and provides support and protection to the organs within the abdomen. It consists of an outer layer (parietal peritoneum) that lines the abdominal wall and an inner layer (visceral peritoneum) that covers the organs.
What is the portion of the peritoneum that holds the intestinal loops in place called?
