Mesentery Dorsal General

The dorsal common mesentery (lat. M. dorsalis communis) is an anatomical structure that connects the stomach and small intestine with other abdominal organs. It consists of a large number of blood vessels, nerves and lymph nodes that provide nutrition and protection to these organs.

The dorsal common mesentery is one of the largest mesenteric ligaments in the human body. It starts from the greater curvature of the stomach and passes through the small intestine to the level of the spleen. The mesentery allows the intestines to move freely, allowing it to adapt to different body positions.

In addition, the common dorsal mesentery is involved in the formation of the abdominal cavity and is an important element of the immune system. It contains many lymphoid nodules that are involved in protecting the body from infections and other pathogenic factors.

In medical practice, the common dorsal mesentery can be found in various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, such as gastric ulcers, pancreatitis and others. In addition, it can be damaged during surgical interventions on the abdominal organs.

Thus, the common dorsal mesentery plays an important role in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and abdominal cavity, and is also the object of medical research and clinical practice.



The mesenteric sheets make up 1/3 of all connective tissue membranes of the mesenteric root and are always located on the sides of the latter. They delimit outside b. thin and outer part from b. wide. In mesenteric sheets b. thin are the longitudinal muscle fibers connecting b.
