About this document
Anatomy of the Abdominal Cavity by Subhash Panicker is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The abdominal cavity is the largest cavity, containing the peritoneal cavity, which is divided into parietal and visceral layers. The abdomen is organized into nine regions using four imaginary planes to aid in the location of viscera, with specific planes identified for this purpose. Infections in the parietal peritoneum can cause protective rigidity in the abdominal wall and referred pain due to overlapping nerve pathways.
