(a)  

Peritoneum encasing peritoneal organs

(a)  

A thin sheet of tissues, called (a)   divides the abdominal cavity into peritoneal and retroperitoneal compartments

largest division of the peritoneal cavity, the (a)   contains the liver, spleen, stomach, digestion portion of duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, transverse colon, sigmoid colon, and upper two thirds of the rectum

The (a)   does not contain any organs and lies immediately posterior to the stomach
