Fig 1.0 â The structure of the peritoneum and the peritoneal cavity. Note how the visceral layer invaginates to cover the organs. The peritoneal cavity is a potential space between the parietal and visceral peritoneum.It contains only a thin film of peritoneal fluid, which consists of water, electrolytes, leukocytes and antibodies. The fluid serves two main functions: 1  It acts as a lubricant, enabling free movement of the abdominal viscera.he peritoneal cavity is not completely closed in females. The abdominal ostia of the uterine tubes opens into the peritoneal cavity providing a potential pathway between the female genital tract and the peritoneum.
0 Hi all. I know that the Apical Pulse or PMI or mitral valve or whatever you want to call it is located at the left 5th intercostal space, midclavicular line.
A pulse is a rhythmic beat felt in an artery. It is an indicator of the pumping action of the heart. With each beat of the heart, blood is ejected into the arteries. This pumping action (contraction) of the heart causes a rhythmic dilation of the arteries, which is palpable through light touch. The most common site for feeling a pulse is the radial artery located just above the wrist. Other sites for feeling the pulse include: 1  Carotid artery in the neck.
