Mesenteric zone general
The common mesenteric zone is a strip of the abdominal cavity connecting the thoracic and abdominal walls. It is a wide fold that contains a mass of blood vessels, nerves, lymph nodes and other structures. This area is important for many functions in the human body, including blood circulation, digestion, respiration and immunity.
General anatomy of the mesenteric zone
The abdominal cavity consists of two sections - the anterior chamber (epigastric) and the posterior chamber. The common mesentery extends through the posterior chamber and is adjacent to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. It starts from the area above the navel and ends at the junction of the rectum and bladder.
**1. The lymph nodes**
There are four lymphatic nodules: inferior mesenteric, middle mesenteric and superior mesenteric. They collect lymph fluid from organs below and above the abdominal stripe and carry it to the left and right sides of the diaphragm.
