 If memory serves, the peritoneum lines the cavity of the abdomen, if
you dissassemble a chicken in its raw state, you will see a very thin
membrane lining the cavity and separating the muscle mass from th
eabdomen, the mesentary is that membrabe that supports the intestines
and internal organs by webbing between them, which is why when you
slaughter they sort of tumble out interconnected.

I know, clear as mud-but what do you expect, it's been 15 years since I
took anatomy!
