What is mesenters?

mesenters is a general term often used to describe a double layer of peritoneum that supports internal organs and suspends them from abdominal and pelvic cavities. More specifically, it concerns the peritoneum associated with the Ileum and the Junum of the small intestine. Specifically, when referring specifically to the small intestine -supporting membrane, it is often referred to as its own gap to avoid confusion. The gap itself is anchored to the rear abdominal wall along an area of ​​about 6 inches (about 15 cm) long, directly in front of the vertebral post. The fan in the shape of a fan has a length of more than 15 feet (about 6 m) at the point where the intestine itself closes. Together, the membrane and the fluid serve to reduce friction between the internal organs and allow smooth and easy movement of the body. Peritoneum existence throughout the chest, abdominal and pelvic areas, but is correctly called an intermediate thing only when it is connected to the intestines. The extension -enteries is a small Greek word enteron , which means intestines or guts, and therefore specifically refers to the intestines. Similarly, the Mesogastrium refers to the perpetion associated with the stomach, the mesometer on the perpetion of the uterus, etc.

In addition to the provision of physical support, the mesenterie carries nerves, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels that operate the intestine. These blood vessels run between the membrane layers along with the serous fluid. The blood vessels usually supply oxygen to the intestines and transmit nutrients from the digestive system to the rest of the body. Nerves transmit messages to and from the central nervous system. A number of lymph nodes sit at the base of mesenteria and along the jokes of the lymphatic blood vessels, usually provide immune support for intestines.

If the blood supply is limited by the gap, usually due to the basic blood vessel disorders, the mesenteric heart attack may occur. The acute mesenteric infarction usually represents without symptoms until well advanced, when the condition is characterized by severe pain associated with several other physical symptoms. Although acute mesenterickThe infarction represents only 0.1 percent of hospitalization, proven that mortality is up to 71 percent. With diagnosis and treatment within 10-12 hours of the onset of symptoms, this number usually decreases to about 55 percent.
