Summary Introduction
To review:
The attachment sites along with the function of the falciform ligament, mesentery, mesocolon, and lesser as well as greater omentum.
Introduction:
The peritoneum, that is, the body's largest serous membrane consists of folds, which help in connecting the organs to one another and also to the abdominal cavity walls. There are five main peritoneal folds, namely falciform ligament, mesentery, mesocolon, and lesser as well as greater omentum.
