visceral peritoneum in dogs

The inner layer of peritoneum that is wrapped around organs located inside the intraperitoneal space. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the visceral peritoneum is

The inner layer of peritoneum that is wrapped around organs located inside the intraperitoneal space. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the dog.

Where the visceral peritoneum is

It sits in the abdomen and trunk. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.

What the visceral peritoneum connects to

The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of organ, peritoneum and serous membrane.
