👉 Peritoneums are structures that surround the organs and tissues inside the abdomen. They provide a protective barrier for these organs, allowing them to function properly while also protecting the surrounding tissue from damage or infection. The peritoneum is made up of several layers of thin, elastic tissue called mesothelial cells, which line the inside surface of the organ. These cells are protected by the lining of the peritoneal cavity and allow for air to circulate freely within the peritoneum.
