The serous membrane that covers the surface of the abdominal organs is called the peritoneum. It consists of two layers: the parietal peritoneum (which lines the abdominal wall) and the visceral peritoneum (which covers the abdominal organs).
The membrane found around the abdominal organs is called the peritoneum. It consists of two layers - the parietal peritoneum lines the abdominal wall, and the visceral peritoneum covers the organs inside the abdominal cavity.
The membrane that covers the organs of the digestive system like a curtain is called the peritoneum. It lines the abdominal cavity and helps support and protect the digestive organs.
The visceral layer of the peritoneum covers the organs within the abdominal cavity. It is a thin membrane that provides protection and support to the organs by attaching to them and holding them in place.
The multilayered membrane that protects and holds the organs in place within the abdominal cavity is called the peritoneum. It consists of two layers, the parietal peritoneum which lines the abdominal wall, and the visceral peritoneum which covers the organs.
The visceral peritoneum forms a layer that covers the abdominal organs. It is a continuous serous membrane that provides a smooth, friction-reducing surface for the organs to move against each other.
