This tissue layer is equivalent to the superficial fascia but less defined. Its significance is due to its large fat content in the adult pig, fat ponies and beef breeds of cattle. Where the fascia is minimal the peritoneum is closely applied to the transverse abdominal muscle. The falciform ligament (see Sections 3.3 and 3.4) is a fold of peritoneum attached to the liver. It is a remnant of the peritoneum that contained the umbilical vein of the foetus; it attaches to the abdominal wall at the umbilicus.
