Definitions and meanings of "Mesenteries"

What do we mean by mesenteries?

The membrane that attaches the intestines to the wall of the abdomen, maintaining their position in the abdominal cavity, and supplying them with blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics.

A double layer of peritoneum (a smooth membrane that covers most internal organs) that connects many organs contained in the abdomen. Its primary function is to separate the abdominal organs from friction and merging together, but at the same time keep them connected. It also helps in mobility, as in the passage of food.
