sisemembraanid

Sisemembraanid, also known as mesenteries, are double-layered folds of peritoneum that attach to the outer surface of the abdominal organs and the inner surface of the abdominal wall. They serve several important functions in the human body. Firstly, they provide support and stability to the abdominal organs, helping to maintain their position within the abdominal cavity. Secondly, they facilitate the movement of organs by allowing them to slide and rotate relative to one another, which is essential for various physiological processes. Additionally, sisemembraanid play a role in the distribution of blood vessels and nerves to the abdominal organs, ensuring they receive adequate supply and innervation. They also contribute to the protection of the abdominal organs by acting as a barrier against infection and injury. In cases of inflammation or infection, the peritoneum can become inflamed, leading to conditions such as peritonitis. The term "sisemembraanid" is derived from the Latin words "sisus," meaning "intestine," and "membrana," meaning "membrane," reflecting their association with the intestines and their membranous nature.
