Peritoneal Space

The peritoneal cavity can be divided into two separate sacs.
Peritoneal space. It contains only a thin film of peritoneal fluid which consists of water electrolytes leukocytes and antibodies. The causes of peritoneal cancer are unknown. The peritoneal cavity is a potential space between the parietal peritoneum the peritoneum that surrounds the abdominal wall and visceral peritoneum the peritoneum that surrounds the internal organs. The parietal and visceral peritonea.
The peritoneum is one continuous sheet forming two layers and a potential space between them. Peritoneal cavity the potential space between the parietal and the visceral peritoneum. The peritoneal cavity is a potential space between the parietal and visceral peritoneum. The peritoneum is a two layered membrane that lines the organs of the abdominal and pelvic cavity covering the digestive tract liver and reproductive organs.
It affects the surface of organs contained inside the peritoneum. The cavity is filled with a small amount of serous peritoneal fluid secreted by the mesothelial cells which line the peritoneum. Gross anatomy these spaces are separated or compartmentalized by various peritoneal ligaments and their attachments. The peritoneal cavity is a potential space between the parietal peritoneum which lines the abdominal wall and the visceral peritoneum which envelopes the abdominal organs.
The peritoneal cavity is a potential space found between the parietal and visceral layers of the peritoneum. The outer layer the parietal peritoneum is attached to the abdominal wall and the pelvic walls. In men the peritoneal cavity is closed but in women it communicates with the extraperitoneal pelvis exteriorly through the fallopian tubes uterus and vagina. Peritoneal cancer can occur anywhere in the abdominal space.
