The peritoneum is a thin, translucent membrane that covers the internal abdominal body wall and the abdominal organs. The visceral peritoneum is the part of the peritoneum that is adhered to the visceral (abdominal) organs such as the liver, stomach, intestines, etc. The rest of the peritoneum that is adhered to the body wall is called the parietal peritoneum.
