dorsal mesentery in dogs

The mesentery that originates from the dorsal side of the peritoneal cavity[ZFA]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the dorsal mesentery is

The mesentery that originates from the dorsal side of the peritoneal cavity[ZFA]. The atlas records it as a region at the region scale in the dog.

Where the dorsal mesentery is

This dataset records no region or system for it. No positional evidence of any kind. Drawn outside the body so it can still be found and counted, never inside it.

What the dorsal mesentery connects to

The atlas records 6 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of embryo and gut mesentery.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the dorsal mesentery. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as dorsal mesogastrium and mesenterium dorsale commune. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Is the dorsal mesentery the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
