Cool article! It is interesting that the mesentery serves a function in balance and coordination through the nerves it interacts with. There was a bunch of hype in the news recently about how many functions the mesentery has. Some authors even declared it an organ because of it's newfound importance.

We've known about the mesentery and most of its functions since the late 1800's. Another great example of how we can learn new things everyday. Thanks again for the article!
