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.
You may take the pulse at the popliteal (behind the knee) site, the dorsalis pedis (top of the foot) site, and/or the posterior tibial (back of the ankle) site. a. Radial. The radial pulse (the pulse taken using the radial artery) is taken at a point where the radial artery crosses the bones of the wrist. If the patientâs hand is turned so that the palm is up, the radial pulse is taken on the thumb side of top side of the wrist. b. Carotid.
