What are 3 structurescontinuous with and representing modifications of the peritoneum?
Greater & lesser omentum, Falciform ligament, and MesenteryVisceral Peritoneum, Parietal Peritoneum, and MesenteryThe top, the middle, and the left side.mesentery and greater omentum
Extension of the peritoneum that is shaped like a giant pleated fan?
Greater omentum. It is a large fold of peritoneum that hangs down from the stomach, extending over the intestines like a draped apron. Its shape resembles a giant pleated fan.
What holds the intestines to the dorsal body wall?
The mesentery holds the intestines to the dorsal body wall. The mesentery is a double layer of peritoneum that attaches the intestines to the back wall of the abdominal cavity, providing support and allowing for blood vessels and nerves to reach the intestines.
Spleen in relation to peritoneal cavity?
The spleen is located in the upper left side of the abdomen, in the intraperitoneal space. It is partially covered by the greater omentum and is surrounded by peritoneum, which helps to support and protect the organ. However, unlike other intraperitoneal organs, the spleen is not suspended by a mesentery.
What is the fatty membrane whick hangs like and apron from the inferolateral margin?
The structure you are referring to is the greater omentum. It is a fold of peritoneum that hangs down from the stomach and covers the intestines like an apron. It plays a role in immune response and helps to protect and isolate areas of inflammation in the abdomen.

What is the double-layered folds of peritoneum that support portions of the small intestine?
The double-layered folds of peritoneum that support the portions of the small intestine are called mesentery. The mesentery provides a pathway for blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics to reach the intestines, in addition to supporting and holding them in place within the abdominal cavity.
What peritoneum lines the body wall?
The abdominal cavity holds the bulk of the viscera. It is lined with a protective membrane termed the peritoneum. The front of the viscera is covered with a layer of peritoneum called the greater omentum.
Extension of the peritoneum that is shaped like a giant pleated fan?
Greater omentum. It is a large fold of peritoneum that hangs down from the stomach, extending over the intestines like a draped apron. Its shape resembles a giant pleated fan.
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.
What holds the intestines to the dorsal body wall?
The mesentery holds the intestines to the dorsal body wall. The mesentery is a double layer of peritoneum that attaches the intestines to the back wall of the abdominal cavity, providing support and allowing for blood vessels and nerves to reach the intestines.
How would you describe the peritoneum and its folds?
The peritoneum is the largest serous membrane of the body that consists of a layer of simple squamous epithelium with an underlying supporting layer of areolar connective tissue. There are five major peritoneal folds such as greater omentum, falciform ligament, lesser omentum, mesentery and mesocolon.
Spleen in relation to peritoneal cavity?

Are the organs in the human body suspended?
Yes, most organs in the human body are suspended in place by various means, such as ligaments, mesentery, and the peritoneum. These structures support and hold the organs in their proper positions within the body.
What is the difference between a mesentery and a visceral ligament?
A Mesentery has vessels running through it supplying organs which share attachemnt to it (example, Greater Omentum in abdominal cavity), whereas visceral ligaments lack vessels (arteries, veins).
