Abstract

Classic embryologic appraisals of mesenteric development were based on the concept of it being fragmented and complex, in the adult. As the mesenteric organ distal to the third part of the duodenum is now regarded as continuous, the embryologic development of this and associated structures (i.e., peritoneum and intestinal tract) must be reappraised.
