Transcribed Image Text:### Anatomical Membranes and Their Associated Organs
This educational resource provides an overview of specific anatomical membranes and the organs they are associated with. Below is a detailed description:
#### Peritoneum
- **Associated with:** Small intestine
#### Pleura
- **Associated with:** Lung
#### Urinary Bladder (not explicitly shown connected in the original image)
- This is listed independently without a directly associated membrane in the provided diagram.
#### Pericardium
- **Associated with:** Heart
### Diagram Explanation
The diagram consists of two columns, each containing boxes. The left column lists various anatomical membranes, and each membrane is connected via a horizontal line to its associated organ, which is listed in the right column. The connections can be summarized as follows:
- **Peritoneum** is connected to the **Small intestine**.
- **Pleura** is connected to the **Lung**.
- **Pericardium** is connected to the **Heart**.
Each of these membranes plays a crucial role in protecting and supporting the organs they are associated with:
- **Peritoneum**: A membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and covers most of the abdominal organs, including the small intestine.
- **Pleura**: A double-layered membrane surrounding the lungs and lining the chest cavity to facilitate breathing movements.
- **Pericardium**: A double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the major vessels, protecting the heart and anchoring it within the chest.
