Question

The peritoneal cavity is located between the visceral peritoneum and the mesentery. True or false

Answer 1

The peritoneal cavity is located between the visceral peritoneum and the parietal peritoneum. So the statement is false.

What is the peritoneal cavity?

The peritoneum is a serous membrane that covers the abdominal and pelvic organs and borders the walls of the abdominal cavity. The peritoneal cavity lies between its parietal and visceral layers. Abdominopelvic organs are supported and shielded by the peritoneum.

There are two layers to the peritoneum:

• An external layer that is attached to the front and posterior abdominal walls is called the parietal peritoneum.
• A layer that lines the internal organs of the abdomen is called the visceral peritoneum. It is created when the parietal peritoneum rebounds from the viscera to the abdominal wall.

Therefore the statement is false.
