The visceral peritoneum encapsulates the individual abdominal organs and is supplied by the organ it is closest to. The peritoneal cavity is a theoretical space that exists between the two layers of the peritoneal mesothelium.
Each cavity (grey area) comprises a visceral layer (green) and a parietal layer (blue). The visceral layer is closely apposed to the lungs and cannot be dissected from the surface. The parietal layer is thicker and is attached to the walls of the thorax (e.g., diaphragm, ribs, etc). The layers are continuous at the hilum of the lung. Drawing of the pleural cavity showing the right lung (dark green) lined by visceral pleura (1) and parietal pleura (2) between which is the pleural sac (3).
