serous membranes
A part of the serous membrane, made up of simple squamous epithelium that lines pleural, peritoneal, & pericardial cavity?

mesothelium
Serous membrane structure?

mesothelium + areolar connective tissue
Serous membrane function?

secretes serous fluid to reduce friction of visceral organs
Serous membrane is composed of two different layers called?


parietal and visceral layer

peritoneal cavity
What is the name of the organs that only their anterior portion are covered by visceral peritoneum?

retroperitoneal organs
Double layer of visceral peritoneum that does not cover a cavity or line an organ but connects organs to outside body wall?

mesentery
What is the specific tissue of mesentery?

mesothelium + areolar CT + adipose CT
Mesentery function?


Support & stabilize visceral organs to posterior abdominal wall & conduit for AVLN

mesocolon
Name of the mesentery that holds the transverse colon to posterior abdominal wall?

transverse mesocolon

Name the mesentery that holds the sigmoid colon to posterior abdominal wall?

sigmoid mesocolon
Mesentery that connects stomach to transverse colon and drapes over transverse colon & coils of small intestine for cushion of organs and reduction of infection.
