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.
The apical pulse is the heartbeat that is heard at the apex of the heart. The heart apex is located at the very bottom left of the organ. A stethoscope is used to listen to the apical pulse.In most cases, the best way to get an accurate heart rate is to count the beats heard at the heart apex for one full minute.he pulse measured in the wrist can be very different than the apical pulse. The shape of a human heart resembles a pear. An individual with an eating disorder may eventually develop an irregular heartbeat.
