mesentery is located at the wall of the abdomen in the human body.
where is the mesentery located in the human body?
the wall of the abdomen
aside from pork rind, chicken skin may also be made into , whereas —literally 'flower chicharrón', named for its distinctive shape—is made from pig mesentery. in anatomy, "mesentery" refers to the fold of the peritoneum (membrane lining the cavity of the abdomen) attaching the stomach, small intestine, and other organs to the posterior wall of the abdomen. however, in this context, it usually refers to the small bowel mesentery, a fold of tissue that anchors the small intestine to the back of the abdominal wall. it is the thin, web-like structure that supports the small intestine while allowing for the changes in their size and position. when the intestine is detached from this mesentery, the outside thin part of the latter forms a frill or ruffled-like ornament resembling a flower, hence the name of the meat and dish.

during these topographic changes, the dorsal mesentery undergoes corresponding changes. most anatomical and embryological textbooks say that after adopting a final position, the ascending and descending mesocolons disappear during embryogenesis. "embryology—an illustrated colour text", "most of the mid-gut retains the original dorsal mesentery, though parts of the duodenum derived from the mid-gut do not. the mesentery associated with the ascending colon and descending colon is resorbed, bringing these parts of the colon into close contact with the body wall." in "the developing human", the author states, "the mesentery of the ascending colon fuses with the parietal peritoneum on this wall and disappears; consequently the ascending colon also becomes retroperitoneal". to reconcile these differences, several theories of embryologic mesenteric development—including the "regression" and "sliding" theories—have been proposed, but none has been widely accepted.
