duodenum, liver, gall bladder, spleen,

An organ, which is only partially covered by

the peritoneum and has no supporting

mesentery.
Primarily retroperitoneal organs

develop and remain outside the peritoneal

cavity: kidneys, suprarenal glands, aorta,

inferior vena cava, urinary bladder,

posterior surfaces of stomach and 1st part of

the duodenum.

Ascend as a double fold to the porta hepatis of

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


liver, and fissure for ligamentum venosum.

To the left of porta hepatis it is carried to the

layers (anterior 2 layers + posterior 2 layers).

The two layers which descend from the

greater curve of the stomach and

downward in front of the small intestines,

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

then turn upon themselves, and ascend to the

transverse colon, where they separate and

enclose it.
