Tracing the peritoneum in sections - simplified

This session explains the arrangement of the peritoneum based on sketches that trace the peritoneum in a sagittal and transverse orientation. It also provides the embryological basis for the formation of the peritoneal sacs and folds related to the foregut.

00:00 Abdominal peritoneum in a sagittal section
05:34 Pelvic peritoneum in a sagittal section
06:08 Q1
08:28 The lesser sac in a sagittal section
11:43 Q2
12:16 Bare area of the liver
12:51 Intraperitoneal vs retroperitoneal structures
14:05: Q3
14:26 The relation of the posterior vaginal fornix to the peritoneum
15:04 The peritoneum is a transverse section at the level of the T12 vertebra
18:48 Ligaments of the spleen: lienorenal and gastrosplenic
19:02 Q4
19:49 Q5
20:00 The lesser omentum
22:47 Q6
23:02 Q7
23:52 The lesser sac and contents of the lesser omentum in a transverse section
25:37 Embryology: formation of the falciform ligament, lesser omentum and the ligaments of the spleen
26:18 Q8
28:43 Embryology: formation of the lesser sac

After completion of this video session you will be able to:
Trace the peritoneum in an imaginary simplified sagittal section.
Trace the peritoneum in a simplified transverse section oriented to match CT and MRI axial sections.
Describe the layers of the peritoneum: visceral and parietal peritoneum
Understand the subdivisions of the peritoneal cavity: greater and lesser sacs
Classify the relationship of the viscera to the peritoneum: intraperitoneal and extraperitoneal
Locate peritoneal formations: peritoneal ligaments; omenta (greater omentum, lesser omentum, gastrosplenic omentum); mesenteries (mesentery of the small intestine, transverse mesocolon)
Summarize the boundaries of the epiploic foramen.
Sketch the contents of the free border of the lesser omentum.
Illustrate the ligaments of the spleen.
Outline the ligaments of the liver.
Clarify how the growth of the liver divides the ventral mesentery.
Relate the embryonic rotation of the stomach to the formation of the lesser sac.

3. Identify the peritoneal pouch indicated by the pointer.
4. Enumerate the contents of the lienorenal ligament.
5. Which blood vessels are contained within the gastrosplenic ligament?
6. Enumerate the structures which are located in the lower border of the falciform ligament.
7. Identify the peritoneal pouch indicated by the pointer.
8. In life, what are the proximal and distal ends of each of the mid-gut and hindgut?
