Preferred Label : mesentery of small intestine;
Uberon definition : The peritoneum responsible for connecting the jejunum and ileum (parts of the small
intestine) to the back wall of the abdomen. Between the two sheets of peritoneum are
blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerves. This allows these parts of the small intestine
to move relatively freely within the abdominopelvic cavity. The brain, however, cannot
map sensation accurately, so sensation is usually referred to the midline, an example
of referred pain[WP].;
