ventral mesentery

Most parts of the ventral mesentery are associated with the liver.

This will be translocated later into the diaphragm and ventral mesentery.

Ventral mesentery is the part of the peritoneum closest to the navel.

The dorsal mesentery is larger than the ventral mesentery, which gradually becomes other parts of the peritoneum.

It is a remnant of the umbilical vein of the fetus and a derivative of the embryonic ventral mesentery.

Ventral mesentery, derived from the septum transversum, and exists only in the region of the terminal part of the esophagus, the stomach, and the upper portion of the duodenum.

The septum transversum is a thick mass of cranial mesenchyme that gives rise to parts of the thoracic diaphragm and the ventral mesentery of the foregut in the developed human being.

The cephalic portion of the septum transversum takes part in the formation of the diaphragm, while the caudal portion into which the liver grows forms the ventral mesentery (or ventral mesogastrium, when referring to the portion at the stomach).
