Q

mesentery

what vessels do these mesenteries cover?
1. mesentery proper
2. sigmoid mesocolon
3. transverse mesocolon

A

double layer of peritoneum, conduit of neurovascular supply between organ and body wall

  1. superior mesenteric vessels – since mesentery proper is connected to small intestine (midgut)
  2. inferior mesenteric vessels – since sigmoid mesocolon is connected to sigmoid (hindgut)
  3. middle colic vessels – since transverse colon is innervated by middle colic of SMA
