mesentery
The mesenteric arteries go to the mesentery. The mesentery is a fold of the peritoneum that pins the stomach, small intestine, pancreas, spleen, and other organs to the posterior wall (back wall) of the abdomen.
The mesentery is a double layer of peritoneum which connects and fix some parts of the small intestine (i.e. jejunum and ileum) to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. The mesentery provides a site to store fat as well as a site for blood vessel, lymphatic vessels, and nerves to reach the digestive organs.
The spleen is located in the abdomen of the body, where it functions in the destruction of old red blood cells and holds a reservoir of blood.
The mesentary
The mesentery is derived from what is known in the embryo as the dorsal mesentery. The dorsal mesentery is larger than the ventral mesentery, which gradually becomes other parts of the peritoneum. Most parts of the ventral mesentery are associated with the liver. ---------------------------------------------------------Recommend if u like this.....
