Dividing Cord

The dividing cord or dividing strip is a narrow channel that separates two adjacent organs or tissues in the body. It can be either physiological or pathological, and can have different structures and functions.

Physiological dividing cords:

– Between the kidneys and the ureters, where they join to form the bladder.
– Between the ovaries and fallopian tubes in women.
– Between the lungs and the pleural cavity.
– Between the stomach and duodenum.
– Between the liver and gall bladder.

Pathological separating cords can occur due to various diseases, such as tumors, cysts, scars, adhesions and others. They can cause dysfunction of organs, lead to pain, poor circulation and other problems.

The separating cords perform the important function of separating organs and tissues, preventing their contact and mutual influence on each other. In addition, they may play a role in the formation of mucous membranes and the secretion of secretions.

Diagnosis of pathological dividing cords may include ultrasound, CT, MRI and other imaging methods. Treatment depends on the cause of the cord and may include surgery, medication, or a combination of these methods.

Thus, the dividing cord is an important element of the anatomy and physiology of the body, which can be physiological or pathological. Its functions and structure may vary depending on the location and cause of its occurrence. Diagnosis and treatment of pathological cords requires an integrated approach and may include both conservative and surgical methods.
