MESENTERY OVERVIEW
PERITONEUM
• Functions:
1. Minimize friction
2. Resist infection
3. Store fat
4. Pathway for neurovascular structures
PERITONEAL FLUID
• Derived from interstitial fluid of adjacent tissues
• Contains water, electrolytes, proteins, macrophages and lymphocytes
• Peritoneum is a semi-permeable membrane that allows fluid and cells to move in both directions
• Composition varies according to pathological condition
• Condition when there is excess fluid, usually due to inflammation or infection is called ascites
PERITONEAL STRUCTURES
• Parietal and visceral layers – single layer of peritoneum
• Mesentery – double layer that suspends gut tube, ie., dorsal mesentery and ventral mesentery
• Omentum – special type of mesentery that attaches stomach to another structure, ie., greater omentum and lesser omentum
• Peritoneal ligaments – double layer that attaches more solid viscera to abdominal wall or other organs
• Peritoneal folds – raised, single layer of peritoneum coursing over blood vessels and ligaments
MESENTERY
Dorsal Root of the Mesentery
Mesentery
VISCERAL PERITONEUM
• Intraperitoneal
– Organs nearly completely surrounded by peritoneum
– Organs suspended by mesentery, omentum or ligament
• Retroperitoneal
– Organs only partially covered by peritoneum
– Organs have no mesentery
MESENTERY OVERVIEW
DORSAL MESOGASTRIUM
• Rotation of stomach causes dorsal mesogastrium to balloon out to left
• Creates the lesser sac or omental bursa
28 days
48 days
DORSAL MESOGASTRIUM
• Splenorenal (lienorenal) ligament
• Gastrosplenic (gastrolienal) ligament
DORSAL MESOGASTRIUM – GREATER OMENTUM
DORSAL MESOGASTRIUM – GREATER OMENTUM
DERIVATIVES OF DORSAL MESOGASTRIUM
• Greater omentum (gastrocolic ligament)
• Gastrosplenic ligament
• Splenorenal ligament
VENTRAL MESENTERY
VENTRAL MESENTERY
• Rotation of stomach moves liver and lesser omentum to right
• Falciform ligament remains in midline
GREATER AND LESSER SACES
VENTRAL MESENTERY – LESSER OMENTUM
• Falciform ligament
Ligamentum teres
• Lesser omentum
Hepatogastric lig.
Hepatoduodenal lig.
DERIVATIVES OF VENTRAL MESENTERY
• Falciform, coronary & triangular ligaments
• Visceral peritoneum of liver
• Lesser omentum
– Hepatogastric ligament
– Hepatoduodenal ligament
MESENTERY PROPER AND MESOCOLON
PERITONEAL FOLDS
• Median umbilical fold – median umbilical ligament
• Medial umbilical folds – median umbilical ligaments
• Lateral umbilical folds – inferior epigastrics
PARACOLIC GUTTERS
• Longitudinal channels running along medial and lateral sides of ascending and descending colon
• Form where parietal peritoneum reflects onto colon as visceral peritoneum
PARACOLIC GUTTERS
HEPATORENAL RECESSRIGHT SUBHEPATIC RECESS
(MORRISON’S POUCH)
• One of the lowest points in the peritoneal cavity
• Excess fluid/blood will pool in this area when patient is supine
Summary• Dorsal Mesentery
• Dorsal mesogastrium
• Greater omentum
• Gastrosplenic ligament
• Lienorenal (splenorenal) ligament
• Dorsal Mesoduodenum
• Mesocolons (transverse and sigmoid)
• Ventral Mesentery
• Falciform ligament
• Coronary and triangular ligaments
• Lesser omentum - hepatogastric and hepatoduodenal ligaments
