Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The vascular structures contained within the mesentery are a critical conduit between the functional components of the mesenteric organ, the digestive system and the rest of the body. The architecture of the major arteries and veins that supply the abdominal organs and their relationship to the mesentery are described in this chapter. An understanding of the role that the mesentery plays as both a structural and functional component of the abdominal vascular system is emphasized.
