Accepted Answer

The visceral peritoneum is a smooth membrane that covers the organs in the abdominal cavity, including the stomach, small intestine, and parts of the large intestine. It forms part of the peritoneum, which is a double-layered membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and covers the organs within it. The parietal peritoneum forms the outer layer of the peritoneum and lines the abdominal wall. The pleura refers to the membranes that surround the lungs, the pericardium surrounds the heart, and the meninges are membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord.
