where is the mesentery located in the human body
Mesentery The mesentery is a continuous[1][2] set of tissues which is formed by the double fold of peritoneum that attaches the intestines to the wall of the abdomen. The term mesentery is used for the small intestine and mesenteric organ is sometimes used to refer to the rest of the mesentery that incorporates the mesocolon, mesoappendix, mesosigmoid and mesorectum.[citation needed] It has been proposed for reclassification as an organ due to research at the University of Limerick in the 2010s.[1][2][3][4]
