Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

The serous membranes consist of two layers: the parietal serosa, which lines the walls of these cavities, and the visceral serosa, which covers the organs within them. Among these serous membranes, one is particularly associated with the large intestine, and it plays a crucial role in its protection and function.
