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.

Location and Palpation of Pedal Pulses. Dorsalis Pedis: To palpate pulse, place fingers just lateral to the extensor tendon of the great toe. If you cannot feel a pulse, move fingers more laterally. Posterior Tibial: To palpate pulse, place fingers behind and slightly below the medial malleolus of the ankle. In an obese or edematous ankle, the pulse may be more difficult to feel. Note: To enhance technique: Assume a comfortable position for you and the client. Place hand in position and linger on the site.
