Peritoneum and Peritoneal Cavity Peritoneum has two layers: 
Parietal peritoneum lines the internal surface of the abdominopelvic wall 
Has the same blood, lymphatic vasculature and the same somatic nerve supply as is the region of the wall it lines 
Sensitive to pressure, pain, heat and cold, and laceration( pain is well localized) 
 
Visceral peritoneum 
Invests viscera organs 
Served by the same blood and lymphatic vasculature and visceral nerve supply as the org...

The abdominal wall 
	Encloses the abdominal cavity. 
	Divided into anterolateral and posterior sections. 
The abdominal wall Functions 
Forms a firm flexible containment for the abdominal viscera in the abdominal cavity and assists the viscera in maintaining their anatomical position against gravity. 
Protects the abdominal viscera from injury. 
Assists in forceful expiration by pushing the abdominal viscera upwards. 
Involved in actions like coughing, vomiting, defecati...

BLADDER AND URETHRA 
 
 OBJECTIVES 
•	The urinary bladder is a muscular reservoir of urine, lying in the anterior part of the pelvis. 
 
•	It is commonly involved in clinical conditions such as retention of urine, cystitis (inflammation of the urinary bladder), calculus, disorder of micturition, and cancer. 
 
•	Hence, its anatomy is of immense importance to clinicians. 
LOCATION

Histological Adaptations of Respiratory system to its Functions 
 
General Organizational Pattern of Respiratory System 
Respiratory system is organized into the following layers; 
1. Mucosa Layer 
•	The respiratory mucosa is made up of the epithelium and supporting lamina propria (a thin layer of connective tissue) 
•	Lamina propria contains elastin and collagen fibers, which provide the trachea with support and elasticity. 
NB/ Along the respiratory pathway, the epithelial lining changes t...
