Abstract
The cellular and extracellular composition of the mesentery is similar from the root region to the anorectal junction. Multiple levels of continuity (including connective tissue, vascular, neurologic, and lymphatic) occur between mesentery and adjacent intestinal tract and between mesentery and associated vessels. Characterization of mesenteric histology provides opportunities to refresh approaches to several disease processes including those involving systemic manifestations.
