The membranes, or one of the membranes (consisting of a fold of the peritoneum and inclosed tissues), which connect the intestines and their appendages with the dorsal wall of the abdominal cavity. The mesentery proper is connected with the jejunum and ilium, the other mesenteries being called mesocæcum, mesocolon, mesorectum, etc.
One of the vertical muscular radiating partitions which divide the body cavity of Anthozoa into chambers.
fold of peritoneum attaching the small intestine to the posterior abdominal wall
membranous tissue that carries blood vessels and lymph glands, and attaches various organs to the inner wall of the abdomen.
double folded membrane lined with mesothelial cells that enclose the peritoneum (peritoneal mesentery) and the thoracic cavity (thoracic mesentery).
tissue fold attaching gastrointestinal tract to posterior abdominal wall in which blood vessels, lymph and nerves run. Dvelopmentally derived from lateral plate mesoderm forming splanchnic mesoderm which then forms the posterior mesogastrium. (More? mesogastrium | GIT Notes)
a thin, membranous sheet attaching various organs to the body wall.
Membranous folds that hold and suspend the small intestines.
A extension of the peritoneum that wraps around the intestines and suspends them from the dorsal body wall.
A membrane surrounding and supporting the intestines.
tissue which connects organs and blood vessels to the body wall or to other organs (for support).
The fold of peritoneum that attaches the intestine to the posterior abdominal wall.
membranes that support the digestive organs in the abdominal cavity
A layer of the peritoneum, which attaches the abdominal viscera to the abdominal wall and conveys their blood vessels and nerves.
A double layer of serous membrane that supports and stabilizes the position of an organ in the abdominopelvic cavity and provides a route for the associated blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels.
a double layer of peritoneum that attaches to the back wall of the abdominal cavity and supports the small intestines
a double layer of peritoneum which connects an organ (i
Any of several folds of the peritoneum that connect the intestines to the dorsal abdominal wall.
Greek mesos = middle, and enteron = intestine; hence, the peritoneal fold which tethers the centrally situated small intestine; adjective - mesenteric.
Membranous tissue which carries blood vessels and lymph glands, and attaches various organs to the abdominal wall.
double-layered extension of the peritoneum that supports the organs within it
A fold of tissue which attaches organs to the body wall. See the entire definition of Mesentery
The layers of peritoneum that attach the gut system and its associated organs, for example, the spleen, to the dorsal surface of the peritoneal cavity in mammals.
( mez-en-ter-ee) [Gk. mesos, middle + enteron, gut] A membrane that suspends many of the organs of vertebrates inside fluid-filled body cavities.
Abdominal membrane that connects the intestines to the abdominal cavity.
Fold in the abdominal lining that connects the intestine to the back of the abdominal wall; contains the arteries and veins that supply the intestines.
Mesentery is an anatomical term that specifically refers to the double layer of peritoneum that connects a part of the small intestine to the posterior wall of the abdomen. Its meaning, however, is frequently extended to include double layers of peritoneum connecting various components of the abdominal cavity.
