Peritoneum anatomy explained in schematic 3D.

In which I answer questions like: What is the peritoneum? What is a peritoneal cavity? What is a mesentery? How does the greater and lesser omentum fit in?

It's all pretty confusing,  and one of the more difficult parts of anatomy study. I really hope you find this video useful in your journey of understanding the human body.

(In answer to your first question, it is a single continuous sheet of serous membrane, stretching around the abdomen and its contents.)
