-
A term in anatomy, applied to several duplicatures of the peritoneum, which maintain the different portions of the intestinal canal in their respective situations; allowing, however, more or less motion. They are formed of two laminae, between which are contained the corresponding portion of intestine and the vessels that pass to it. One only of these duplicatures has received the name mesentery, properly so called. This belongs to the small intestine, which it suspend and retains in situ. Its posterior margin, which is the smallest, is straight, and descends obliquely from the left side of the body of the second lumbar vertebra to the right iliac fossa. its anterior margin is curved, undulating, plainted, and corresponds to the whole length of the small intestine. The mesentery contains, between the two lamina which form it, a number of lymphatic ganglion; the trunks and branches of the mesenteric vessels; the nervous plexuses accompanying them, and many lacteals and lymphatics.
