[The peritoneum is a serous membrane, formed for the most part of a layer of irreg-ular endothelial cells, arranged on a thin layer of subserous, connective-tissue (Fig-. 201 I-, II, and III). The endothelial cells are attached to each other by cement-sub- stancCj easily stained by silver nitrate. The cells covering the general surface of the peritoneal cavity are larger and broader than those covering the mesentery of the small intestine (compare I and II, Fig. 201). At various points stomata are found, bordered by smaller and more deeply staining epithelium (I, A). The membrane covering the general cavity is also much more pigmented than that covering the mesentery (compare I and II). Various portions of the peritoneal surface possess ciliated cells^ X.
