The mesentery is a thin membrane that serves to hold organs in place. It also carries fluids between organs. The pancreas, embedded in the mesentery, produces substances that neutralize acid which are then delivered to the stomach from the gall bladder along with bile. The pancreas also releases insulin (helps the body to process sugar) and digestive enzymes. (This organ is part of the digestive system.). EndFragment
