Mesentery
QuestionChoice
The image shows a dissected abdominal cavity. The lesser omentum is a double-layer of tissue extending between the inferior surface of the liver and the lesser curvature of the stomach. However, the arrow indicates the mesentery, a double-layered peritoneal structure which surrounds the small intestine and large intestine and attaches them to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity.

Lesser omentum
QuestionChoice
The image shows a dissected abdominal cavity with the liver removed and parts of the bowel partially removed. The mesorectum is a double-layered tissue formed by the peritoneal membrane which surrounds the rectum and allows its attachment to the wall of the abdominal cavity. The rectum is not well visualised in this specimen and would be found much more inferior to the highlighted structure.

Mesorectum
QuestionChoice
The image shows a dissected abdominal cavity. The greater omentum is a fibrous-fatty double-layer of tissue covering the contents of the abdominal cavity anteriorly and extending from the greater curvature of the stomach down into the pelvis and back to attach to the transverse colon. However, the arrow indicates the mesentery, a double-layered peritoneal structure which surrounds the small intestine and large intestine and attaches them to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity.
