Understanding the Peritoneum Anatomy by eberechukwuidike is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The peritoneum is a serous membrane lining the abdominal cavity, consisting of parietal and visceral layers. It forms various folds and reflections, including the falciform ligament and the lesser omentum, which connect viscera to the abdominal walls. The peritoneal cavity is divided into three major compactments: supracolic, infracolic, and pelvic, with specific anatomical features and clinical implications for infection and fluid accumulation.
