3Which layer of the peritoneum lines the internal surface of the abdominopelvic wall?

- BVisceral peritoneum
4Which layer of the peritoneum covers the majority of the abdominal viscera?
- AParietal peritoneum
- BVisceral peritoneum
5Drag and drop the correct answers to describe the innervation and resulting sensitivities of the layers of the peritoneum.
The [blank_start]parietal[blank_end] peritoneum is innervated by the same [blank_start]somatic[blank_end] nerve supply as the region of the abdomen that it is level with (i.e. dermatomes). Therefore, pain in this layer of the peritoneum is well localised. This layer is sensitive to pressure, pain, [blank_start]laceration and temperature[blank_end].
The [blank_start]visceral[blank_end] peritoneum is innervated by the same [blank_start]autonomic[blank_end] nerve supply as the structures it covers. This means that pain is poorly localised. This layer of peritoneum is sensitive to [blank_start]stretch and chemical irritation[blank_end].- Aparietal

24Drag and drop the correct answers to describe the greater sac.
The greater sac is divided into two compartments by the mesentery of the [blank_start]transverse colon[blank_end].
The supracolic compartment occurs [blank_start]above[blank_end] the transverse mesocolon. It contains the [blank_start]stomach, liver and spleen[blank_end].
The infracolic compartment occurs [blank_start]below[blank_end] the transverse mesocolon and contains the small intestine, [blank_start]ascending colon and descending colon[blank_end]. The mesentery of the [blank_start]small intestine[blank_end] divides the infracolic compartment into left and right [blank_start]infracolic spaces[blank_end].
The supracolic and infracolic compartments are connected by the [blank_start]paracolic gutters[blank_end]. These lie between the posterolateral abdominal wall and the ascending and descending colon on each side.- Atransverse colon
