Abdominal cavity
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
The abdominal cavity is divided into two major compartments early, the peritoneum and retroperitoneum, early in foetal development (the peritoneum and retroperitoneum)
The parietal peritoneum is reflected over the peritoneal organs to form a series of supporting peritoneal ligaments, mesenteries and omenta. The peritoneal reflections carry vessels, nerves and lymphatics from the retroperitoneum to the peritoneal organs. They may act as a natural connection between the retroperitoneum and peritoneum (the subperitoneal space) which provides a pathway for the extension of intraabdominalintra-abdominal disease.
Mesentry, omenta and peritoneal ligaments are formed as the peritoneum is reflected within the abdominal cavity.
