and covers abdominal viscera. It has the following parts: 1- Visceral layer: covers abdominal viscera, supplied by autonomic nerves and sensitive to stretch only. 2- Parietal layer: lines abdominal wall, supplied by somatic nerves and it is very sensitive that when irritated leads to pain, tenderness and rigidity. 3- Peritoneal fold: when peritoneum is in contact other peritoneal layer to form either ligament, omentum or mesentery. 4- Peritoneal cavity: It separates visceral from parietal. It is potential space.
in females it is opened by uterine tubes. Functions of peritoneum: 1- provides smooth surfaces for viscera to avoid friction. 2- Protects against infection as peritoneal fluid contains antibodies. 3- Allows rapid healing of abdominal wounds. 4- Can localize the spread of infection (policeman of the abdomen). 5- Storage of fat.

and lesser omentum. It communicates with the greater sac through opening of lesser sac (epiploic foramen). It is composed of: ➢Main part behind stomach and lesser omentum. ➢Superior recess (extension): behind liver (caudate lobe). ➢Inferior recess (extension): inside the greater omentum. ➢Splenic recess (extension): at hilum of spleen.

duct then retrograde spread to left supra-clavicular nodes (Virchow’s glands). ➢Retrograde spread of malignant cells may reach hepatic nodes. ➢Retrograde spread may reach skin of umbilicus from hepatic nodes through ligamentum teres inside falciform ligament to form a malignant nodule in the umbilicus known as Sister Joseph nodule.
