====== PERITONEUM ======

  * Peritoneum 
   * layers 
      * outer parietal layer 
        * lines inner surface of abdominal and pelvic walls 
        * lower surface if diaphragm
        * lateral plate mesoderm
          * derived from somato-pleuric layer  
      * inner visceral layer
        * lines outer surface of viscera 
        * lateral plate mesoderm 
          * splanchnopleuric layer 
   * Folds of peritoneum by which viscera are suspended 
    * Embryological 
      * ventral mesogastrium 
        * ventral part 
          * falciform ligament 
          * right and left triangular ligaments 
          * superior and inferior layers of coronary ligament 
        * dorsal part 
          * lesser omentum 
      * dorsal mesogastrium  
        * greater or caudal part 
          * elongates to form greater omentum 
        * spleen divides in in to

          * stomach , jejunum , ileum, caecum , appendix
      * partial peritoneal - pars peritoneal 
          * ascending and descending colon , rectum 
   * Functions of peritoneum 
     * movement of viscera
     * protection of viscera
     * absorption and dialysis 
     * healing power and adhesions 
     * storage of fat
   * Peritoneal cavity

       * Paracolic gutter 
       * Rectouterine pouch 
       * Peritoneal Fossa ( recess )
