Mesentery
The mesentery is a continuous set of tissues located in the abdomen, which attaches the intestines to the posterior abdominal wall. It provides essential support and contains blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics. Recent studies classify the mesentery as an organ due to its distinctive structure and vital functions in the body's physiology.
