The mesentery is a double layer of peritoneum that suspends the intestines from the posterior abdominal wall, providing a pathway for blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics. It anchors the small and large intestines while allowing for mobility during digestion. The mesenteric vessels supply oxygenated blood and drain venous blood from the intestines. The structure also contains lymph nodes that play a role in immune defense. Understanding mesenteric anatomy is critical for surgical procedures such as bowel resections, as injury to its vessels can lead to ischemia or bleeding.
