Peritoneum
The peritoneum, colored in blue, is the serous membrane that forms the lining of the abdominal cavity. It covers most of the intra-abdominal, supporting them and serving as a conduit for their blood and lymph vessels and nerves. Peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritoneum often causing abdominal pain and tenderness.
