Скачать или смотреть Illuminated Mesentery

Here we are in the lab at Experience Anatomy looking at a section of the small intestine, known as the Jejunum and it’s anchoring organ the mesentery.

This is my favorite view of the mesentery. Students are always surprised by the beauty of this vital abdominal structure. Like a stained-glass window we can seeing an arcade of branching blood vessels, nerves and lymphatics.

Thank you to our donor for this beautiful view.

The mesentery is formed from folds in the peritoneum and suspends both the small and large intestine from the back of the abdominal wall; anchoring them in place, while still allowing some movement.
