The mesentery is a double layer of peritoneum which connects and fix some parts of the small intestine (i.e. jejunum and ileum) to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. The mesentery provides a site to store fat as well as a site for blood vessel, lymphatic vessels, and nerves to reach the digestive organs.
