The mesentery in the frog's small intestine serves three main functions: it supports and suspends the intestine, ensuring it remains properly positioned within the abdominal cavity. Additionally, the mesentery contains blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves that supply the intestine, facilitating nutrient absorption and communication with the rest of the body. Finally, it helps anchor the intestine to the dorsal wall of the body, allowing for mobility while maintaining stability during digestion.
