Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The peritoneum is a membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and covers the abdominal organs. The parietal peritoneum lines the walls of the abdominal cavity, the peritoneal cavity is the space between the parietal and visceral peritoneum, and the visceral peritoneum covers the abdominal organs. Therefore, the correct progression is from the external wall (parietal peritoneum) to the space within the peritoneum (peritoneal cavity) to the covering of the organs (visceral peritoneum).
