Abstract

There has been relatively little focus in the histological composition of the mesentery. The mesentery is now defined as the collection of tissues that maintains all abdominal digestive organs in position and in continuity with other systems. Given this definition, it is important to describe the tissues that make up the mesentery. Any such description should also include a description of the histology of associated structures. These include the peritoneal reflection a Toldt’s fascia, both of which maintain the mesentery in position.
