# DERIVATION OF ADULT MESENTERIES The primitive gut tube is suspended within the peritoneal cavity of the embryo by a ventral and dorsal mesentery from which all adult mesenteries are derived. ## Table 7-1 Derivation of Adult Mesenteries | Embryonic Mesentery | Adult Mesentery | |---|---| | Ventral mesentery | Lesser omentum (hepatoduodenal and hepatogastric ligaments), falciform ligament, coronary ligament, and triangular ligament | | | Greater omentum (gastrorenal, gastrosplenic, gastrocolic, and splenorenal ligaments), mesentery of the small intestine, mesoappendix, transverse mesocolon, sigmoid mesocolon | | Dorsal mesentery | | **Image Description:** The image displays a table with two columns: "Embryonic Mesentery" and "Adult Mesentery." The table lists the embryonic source and corresponding adult structure of various mesenteries. There is also a diagram of a tube-like structure with labels indicating mesenteries and layers of peritoneum. The text provides a description of the relationship between embryonic and adult mesenteries. A reference is cited at the bottom of the image.
