Explanation:

The peritoneum is the serous membrane that covers most digestive organs found in the human body, such as the stomach, large intestine and small intestine

The Peritoneum is made up of two parts:  the external part/outer layer and the internal part/internal layer. the external part known as the parietal peritoneum is strongly attached to the abdominal wall while the internal part known as Visceral Peritoneum is the part that is wrapped around the internal organs of the digestive system located in the  intraperitoneal cavity.

Answer 2

Answer:peritoneum

Explanation:The peritoneum, the serous membrane that forms the lining of the abdominal cavity, covers most of the intra-abdominal organs.

There are two layers of the peritoneum: the outer layer, called the parietal peritoneum, is attached to the abdominal wall; the inner layer, the visceral peritoneum, is wrapped around the internal organs that are located inside the intraperitoneal cavity.

The mesentery is the double layer of visceral peritoneum.

The peritoneum supports the abdominal organs and serves as a conduit for their blood and lymph vessels and nerves.
