Study Notes
Peritoneum and Organs
- Parietal peritoneum lines the walls of the abdominal cavity.
- Organs covered with visceral peritoneum are referred to as intraperitoneal organs.
- An example of an intraperitoneal organ is the stomach.
- The space outside the parietal peritoneum is called the retroperitoneal space.
- A retroperitoneal organ example is the kidney.
- The lesser omentum attaches the stomach to the liver.
Mesentery and Omentums
- The mesentery anchors the intestines to the posterior abdominal wall and supports blood vessels and nerves.
- The greater omentum is a large fold of peritoneum hanging from the stomach, known for its fatty deposits and immune functions.
Digestive Tract Anatomy
- The section of the digestive tract that includes the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, and stomach is the upper gastrointestinal tract.
- The innermost layer of the gastrointestinal wall that faces the lumen is the mucosa.
- The submucosa layer contains the main blood vessels, nerves, and glands.
- The muscularis layer has an inner circular layer and an outer longitudinal layer composed of smooth muscle.
- The outermost layer of the gastrointestinal wall is the serosa, which is interchangeable with the visceral layer of the peritoneum.
Peritoneum Structure
- Visceral peritoneum lines the organs within the abdominal cavity.
- Parietal peritoneum lines the abdominal cavity walls.
- The entire digestive tube passes through the abdominopelvic cavity.
- The peritoneum covers most of the digestive organs.
Bile Production
- The liver is the accessory organ responsible for producing bile.
