Mesenteries
During embryonic development, digestive tract and accessory organs are suspended in peritoneal cavity by ________ and _________.
Dorsal mesentary
Ventral mesentary
This stabilizes the stomach and is present since embryonic development.
The lesser omentum
This helps stabilize the position of the liver and is present since embryonic development.
The calciferol ligament

The greater omentum.
The greater omentum has a lot of ________ tissue that pads and protects surfaces of abdomen, and provides insulation to reduce heat loss.
Adipose
This hangs like an apron from lateral and inferior borders of stomach.
The greater omentum
The ______ mesentery later disappears along most of digestive tract except at the lesser omentum and at the falciform ligament.
Ventral
____________ is associated with keeping the initial portion of small intestine and pancreas locked in place.
The mesentery proper
________ is associated with a portion of the large intestine and during development, it locks regions into place and fuses to dorsal body wall.
