A membrane of squamous
EPITHELIAL CELLS
, the mesothelial cells, covered by apical
MICROVILLI
that allow rapid
absorption
of fluid and particles in the
PERITONEAL CAVITY
. The
peritoneum
is divided into parietal and visceral components. The parietal
peritoneum
covers the inside of the
ABDOMINAL WALL
. The visceral
peritoneum
covers the intraperitoneal organs. The double-layered
peritoneum
forms the
MESENTERY
that suspends these organs from the
abdominal wall.
