Peritoneum Parietal

Peritoneum parietal

The peritoneum is a serous membrane that lines the abdominal cavity on all sides and facilitates the sliding of organs both during movement and at rest. Its main functions include dividing the abdominal cavity into separate cavities, which allows for invasive interventions on the digestive organs, blood vessels and other structures located inside this space, without affecting adjacent organs, as well as protecting the abdominal organs from external influences and minimizing friction about the walls of the abdominal cavity under conditions of stretching. The peritoneum has important clinical significance due to its conservative capabilities and is therefore widely used in operations and other therapeutic measures. It is divided into four layers interconnected. At the top it covers the anterior wall of the abdominal cavity. From below, the peritoneum penetrates into the pelvis, surrounds the bladder, iliac vessels and forms adhesions with the walls of the rectum and vagina. The peritoneal suture helps to tie the ends of the tissues as tightly as possible and avoid displacement of the sutures, and hence minimizes the chances of possible relapses. Such a seam is usually made with a thick needle or wire and has thick walls. The suture is placed through a special peritoneum.

When a person lies face down, the peritoneum is subjected to severe stress due to the increased intra-abdominal fluid contained in the intestines. However, most of the peritoneum is indeed securely attached to the body and is relatively limited from shocks and other loads. Upon contact, the peritoneum leaks and forms joint fluid to compensate for friction and prevent the development of joint arthritis. The peritoneum and articular are synonymous and contain a highly specialized lubricating fluid that protects against erosion and shock absorption. In the middle, the abdominal cavity is delimited by narrow vertebral bodies. By lifting the rectus muscles in the abdomen and torso to the base of the spine, the body and lumbar bone maintain the abdominal membrane in a natural taut state.

Parietal peritoneum Parietal peritoneum - Parietal peritoneum of the wall of the body cavity and abdominal organs. Absorbs and promotes the release of fluids through it (blood, lymph, digestive juices, bile, urine). The transverse fascia and external abdominal muscles are adjacent to the parietal peritoneum. In contact with the visceral layer of the pleura, the posterior layer of the pleura covering the diaphragm. Covers the lesser omentum. Forms two plates: one parietal and the other diaphragmatic; they transform into each other through diffuse transformation.
