Question

• B. Mesorchium
• C. Mesovarium
• D. Renal peritoneum

Answer 1

The correct option is A Mesentery

A mesentery is a double layer of visceral peritoneum. It connects an intraperitoneal organ to (usually) the posterior abdominal wall. It provides a pathway for nerves, blood vessels and lymphatics to travel from the body wall to the viscera.

The mesentery of the small intestine is simply called ‘the mesentery’. Mesentery related to other parts of the gastrointestinal system is named according to the viscera it connects to the mesoappendix.

So the correct answer is 'Mesentery'.
