hollow organs
Peritoneal cavity
abdominal cavity
The membrane lining the abdominal cavity (parietal peritoneum) and covering the abdominal organs (visceral peritoneum).
peritoneum
Solid masses of tissue where much of the chemical work of the body takes place (e.g., the liver, spleen, pancreas, and kidneys).
solid organs
An injury in which there is soft-tissue damage inside the body but the skin remains intact.
closed abdominal injuries
Involuntary muscle contractions (spasm) of the abdominal wall to minimize the pain of movement and protect the inflamed abdomen; a sign of peritonitis
guarding
An injury in which there is a break in the surface of the skin or mucous membrane, exposing deeper tissue to potential contamination
