<prompt> Which of the following structure develops from dorsal mesentery?Greater omentumLesser omentumLiverDiaphragm  <response>: Ref. Grays anatomy. 41st edition. Page. 1130Mesenteries of the gut tube The thoracic esophagus and anus are anchored within the body wall and are therefore retroperitonealThe stomach and liver are suspended in a mesentery that is attached to the dorsal AND ventral body walls:the dorsal mesentery of the stomach becomes the greater omentumthe ventral mesentery of the liver becomes the falciform ligamentthe mesentery between the stomach and liver becomes the lesser omentumThe rest of the GI tract is suspended by a dorsal mesentery, named according to the organ to which it is attached mesoduodenum, mesoappendix, mesocolon, etc.Little of GI tract remain intraperitoneal in the adult and are therefore suspended by a mesentery.Little of GI tract, however, are applied against the body wall during development and the dorsal mesentery becomes incorporated into the body wall, making the organ secondarily retroperitoneal.
