Q

mesentery formation sets up three classes of organs:

A
  1. intraperitoneal - covered in the peritoneum, associated with mesentery
  2. secondary retroperitoneal - originates within but merges back behind peritoneum (parts of the gut tube)
  3. primary retroperitoneal - develops and stays behind (retro) the peritoneum (kidney)

Q
A
33
Q

what part of the small intestine has more gastric folds?

A

jejunum

34
Q

what does an increase in gastric folds do?

less absorption needs to occur as we progress through the gut tube
