The mesenteries serve not only as means of attachment of the intestine to the body-wall, but also as a passage for the blood-vessels of the ahmentary canal.

In the adult the mesenteries become very complex in relations as the result of the elongation of the intestine, formation of omenta, and local adhesions. As the stomach develops its greater curvature, it rotates on its long axis so that its left side becomes ventral and the right side dorsal. As a result the dorsal mesogaster is stretched to the left and a pouch or bursa between the mesogaster and the right side of the stomach is formed. /MESOGASTER.
