Why ascending part of colon lacks mesentery?
Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query
Ascending colon is a retroperitoneal organ i.e. it has peritoneum on its anterior side only. Since, it has peritoneum on its inner side, it does not require mesentery which is a peritoneal part present outside of an organ helping it for attachment to some other structure or organ.
