Expert Solution

Mesothelium supported by thin layer of connective tissue.

The peritoneum is the serous membrane that forms the lining of the abdominal cavity or coelom in amniotes and some invertebrates, such as annelids. It covers most of the intra-abdominal (or coelomic) organs, and is composed of a layer of mesothelium supported by a thin layer of connective tissue.

Peritoneum, Mesentery, and Omentum:::

The peritoneum is thin membrane that lines the abdominal and pelvic cavities, and covers most abdominal viscera. It is composed of layer of mesothelium supported by a thin layer of connective tissue.

Although ultimately one continuous sheet, two types of peritoneum are referenced:

Parietal peritoneum is that portion that lines the abdominal and pelvic cavities. Those cavities are also known as the peritoneal cavity.
Visceral peritoneum covers the external surfaces of most abdominal organs, including the intestinal tract.
