Peritoneum

Molecular classification: Serous Membrane

Overview

The peritoneum is a large, continuous serous membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and covers most of the abdominal organs. It is composed of a layer of mesothelial cells supported by connective tissue. The peritoneum serves as both a protective lining and structural support for internal organs within the abdomen and pelvis.
