Falciform Ligament
What are the three dorsal mesenteries _____________ ___________ and __________.
Great Omentum, Mesentery Proper, Tranverse Mesocolon
Certain regions of the gut tube start out as suspended inside a mesentery, but then become adhered to the dorsal body wall. As a result, these gut tube structures are immobile within the peritoneal cavity. They are referred to as being _______.
Retroperitoneal
What are the 3 large midline (unpaired) arteries that branch off the abdominal aorta?
Celiac Trunk, Superior Mesenteric Artery, and Inferior Mesenteric
This artery supplies 6 organs : the stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas spleen duodenum
