Peritoneum
Objectives
• Define Peritoneum.• Enumerate its functions.• Explain the general organization of the peritoneum.• Distinguish between Intraperitoneal and Retroperitoneal
Structures.• Describe Peritoneal Ligaments.• Define lesser and greater omenta.• Understand the location of epiploic foramen. • Discuss mesentery and mesocolon.• Explain the Peritoneal sacs.
PeritoneumIs a double-layer serous membrane.1.Parietal layer: lines abdomino pelvic wall & foldsback on itself forming a doubleMembrane: mesentery Functions of mesentery:-(1)Provides support: Intestines: Mesentery & Mesocolon. Stomach: Omenta. Liver: Falciform ligament.(2) Prevents intestinal twisting(3) Stores fat(4) Pathway for vessels & nerves2. Visceral Layer: covers the organs.Peritoneal cavity:Potential space containing a bit of serous fluid.

Peritoneal versus Retroperitoneal (transverse section)
• Most of the internal organs are surrounded by visceral peritoneum: INTRAPERITONEAL Structures.
• Some organs (e.g. kidneys) are between peritoneum on one surface, and the body wall on the other: RETROPERITONEAL Structures.

The retroperitoneal Structures
Peritoneal ligaments, Omenta & Mesenteries• Peritoneal ligaments:
Two layers fold of peritoneum that connect solid viscera to the abdominal walls, e.g. Falciform ligament, Triangular ligaments & Coronary ligaments of the liver.
• Omenta:
Two layers fold of peritoneum that connect the stomach to another viscus, e.g. greater & lesser omenta.
• Mesenteries:
Two layers fold of peritoneum connecting parts of the intestine to the posterior abdominal wall, e.g. mesentery of small intestine, transverse mesocolon, sigmoid mesocolon.
Peritoneal folds related to the stomach
• The greater omentum:
• Lies between the Stomach and the anterior abdominal wall.
Peritoneal folds related to the stomach
• The lesser omentum Passes from the lesser
curvature of the stomach and first part of the duodenum to the inferior surface of the liver.
Greater omentum
Peritoneal folds related to the stomach and Kidney
• The gastrosplenic (gastrolienal) ligament:
Passes from the greater curvature of the stomach to the spleen.
• Splenorenal (lienorenal) ligament:
Connects the spleen to the posterior abdominal wall over the left kidney.
• The gastrophrenic ligament :
Connects the superior part of the greater curvatureof the stomach to the diaphragm.
Peritoneal folds related to the Stomach
Peritoneal folds related to the Liver• The Falciform ligament:
Passes from the parietal peritoneum on the anterior abdominal wall to the visceral peritoneum on the surface of the liver.
• The round ligament of the liver (ligamentum teres hepatis):
• Is the obliterated umbilical vein and it is found in the inferior free margin of the Falciform ligament.
• Coronary ligament:
Attaches the liver to the diaphragm. Two peritoneal ligaments are parts of the coronary ligament:
1. Left triangular ligament:
Is between the left lobe of
the liver and the diaphragm.
2. Right triangular ligament:
Is between the right lobe of
the liver and the diaphragm.
Peritoneal folds related to the Liver
Mesentery of the small intestine
• The mesentery suspends the jejunum and ileum from the posterior abdominal wall.
• Mesoappendix: Attaches the appendix to the posterior abdominal wall and it contains the appendicular artery.
Peritoneal folds & ligaments of colon• Transverse mesocolon:
Attaches the transverse colon to the posterior abdominal wall.
• Phrenicocolic ligament: Attaches the left colic flexure to the diaphragm.
• Sigmoid mesocolon: Suspends the sigmoid colon from the posterior abdominal wall.
Peritoneal sacs• Peritoneal structures all are
found within a subdivision of the peritoneal cavity called the greater peritoneal sac. Posterior to the stomach and lesser omentum is a smaller subdivision of the peritoneal cavity called the lesser peritoneal sac (omental bursa).
• The omental foramen (epiploic foramen, foramen of Winslow) connects the greater and lesser peritoneal sacs.
The Omental foramenBoundaries:• Anterior: Hepatic portal vein,
hepatic artery and bile duct contained within the lesser omentum.
• Posterior: Inferior vena cava & right crus of the diaphragm covered with parietal peritoneum.
• Superior: Caudate lobe of the liver covered with visceral peritoneum.
• Inferior: First part of the duodenum covered with visceral peritoneum.
