It is innervated by autonomic nervous system; hence not pain sensitive. Surface area of peritoneum is 2 m2 - equal to surface area of skin. It has propey of bidirectional transfer of substances. It can absorb from or transfer to peritoneal cavity, fluid and electrolytes. ref:SRB&;s manual of surgery,ed 3,pg no 498
