Mesentery

Japanese: 間膜 - かんまく
Mesentery

…Except for a portion of the upper surface that is attached to the diaphragm, the surface is covered with the peritoneum (serosa), giving the liver a smooth and shiny appearance. The peritoneum that covers most of the liver surface is continuous with the peritoneum that lines the abdominal wall and covers other abdominal organs, so it forms folds (called mesenteries) in places on the liver surface that are free. The falciform mesentery, which runs vertically slightly to the right of the midline on the front of the liver, is attached at its lower end to the cord-like ligamentum teres hepatis, a remnant of the umbilical vein from the fetal period, and its upper end separates to the left and right on the upper surface of the liver, transitioning into the coronary mesentery, and then becoming the left and right intertriangular mesentery, which is then flipped over onto the underside of the diaphragm. …

From [serosa]

…The subserosal tissue is made up of thin, loose connective tissue and is rich in fibroblasts, free cells (lymphocytes, monocytes, histiocytes, etc.), blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves, and adipose tissue. The area where the two serosal membranes meet is called the mesentery. Both sides of the mesentery are covered by serosal epithelium, which sandwiches the subserosal tissue between them. …

【漿膜】より

…漿膜下組織は薄い疎性結合組織からなり,繊維芽細胞のほか自由細胞(リンパ球,単球,組織球など),血管,リンパ管,神経に富み,脂肪組織もみられる。漿膜どうしが2枚合わさった部分を間膜という。間膜では両面が漿膜上皮におおわれ,漿膜下組織がそれに挟まれる。…
