Peritoneum viscerale · Útrobní pobřišnice
Fascia & connective tissue
Looks like
A thin, shiny, slippery membrane covering the surface of the belly organs.
What it does
Lets the organs glide against each other and holds small vessels and nerves.
Keeping it well
Stretching of it gives vague central pain; pain that moves and becomes sharp and fixed, with fever, needs urgent care.
