Description:
This image gives an impression of the varying numbers of original peritoneal layers at different locations. These layers later often adhere to each other where they lie against each other. Drawings often show the postnatal situation depicting only the resulting single peritoneal layer. This makes it very difficult to visualize how the peritoneum has developed. To understand, one must visualize the original embryological situation with its several peritoneal layers, as shown in this drawing.
