Key Concepts

Parietal Peritoneum

The parietal peritoneum is the outer layer that lines the abdominal and pelvic walls. This membrane provides structural support and helps maintain the position of the abdominal organs, yet it does not cover the organs themselves.

Visceral Peritoneum

The visceral peritoneum is the inner layer of the peritoneum that directly covers the surfaces of intraperitoneal organs, such as the stomach. This layer ensures that organs are cushioned and allows for smooth, frictionless movement during digestive processes.

Peritoneum

The peritoneum is a continuous, serous membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and covers the abdominal organs. It is divided into two layers that serve to reduce friction between the organs as they move, protecting and supporting them within the cavity.
