The peritoneum is the serous membrane that constitutes the inner lining of the abdominopelvic cavity. It covers most of the abdominal organs, which are therefore called intraperitoneal. Only a few are left out, and they are referred to as the retroperitoneal organs.

The peritoneum is a double layer of simple squamous serous tissue called mesothelium. There are two layers of peritoneum: parietal peritoneum and visceral peritoneum. They are continuous with one another and have a potential space between them filled with serous fluid that allows the layers to effortlessly slide over each other.

The peritoneum is very important for keeping the organs aligned and stacked up just the way they are supposed to, while at the same time, it protects the organs from outer mechanical factors.

In the full video we will cover the peritoneum and its relation to organs in the abdomen and the pelvis:

- peritoneal layers: visceral and parietal
