suspensory muscle of the duodenum
Anatomical term for the muscle that suspends the duodenum; also known as the ligament of Treitz.
See also: 十二指腸 (じゅうにしちょう)
The suspensory muscle of the duodenum functions to anchor the duodenum.
Refers to the duodenum itself, whereas 十二指腸提筋 is the specific muscle that suspends it.
Compound of 十二指腸 (duodenum) + 提筋 (suspensory muscle). The exact historical derivation is uncertain; the term is a modern anatomical coinage.
