Abstract
The mesenteric organ, distal to the duodenojejunal flexure, fans out from its origin at the superior mesenteric artery to span the intestinal tract from DJ flexure to anorectal junction [2]. It is continuous, as are the associated intestinal tract and peritoneal reflections. Anatomic continuity has implications for all related basic and clinical disciplines. Clarification of mesenteric, peritoneal and fascial anatomy now enables a systematic (i.e., scientific) study of each [21].
