It is continuous with the two posterior layers of the greater omentum , which, after separating to surround the transverse colon, join behind it, and are continued backward to the vertebral column , where they diverge in front of the anterior border of the pancreas . This fold contains between its layers the vessels which supply the transverse colon. Transversemesocolon is a derivative of dorsal mesentery in the embryo.

System MeshName MeshNumber DorlandsPre m 10 DorlandsSuf 12526431 The sigmoid mesocolon is the fold of peritoneum which retains the sigmoid colon in connection with the pelvic wall . Its line of attachment forms a V shaped curve, the apex of the curve being placed about the point of division of the left common iliac artery . The curve begins on the medial side of the left Psoas major , and runs upward and backward to the apex, from which it bends sharply downward, and ends in the median plane at the level of the third sacral vertebra . The sigmoid and superior hemorrhoidal vessels run between the two layers of this fold. This binds the large intestine to the posterior abdominal wall. It also carries blood and lymphatic vessels to the intestines. Together, the mesentary and mesocolon hold the intestines loosely in place, allowing movement as muscular contractions mix and move the luminal contents along the G.I. tract.

In mathematics , a transverse knot is a smooth embedding of a circle topology circle into a three dimensional contact manifold such that the tangent vector at every point of the knot is transversality theorem transverse to the contact plane at that point. Any Legendrian knot can be C sup 0 sup perturbed in a direction transverse to the contact planes to obtain a transverse knot. This yields a bijection between the set of isomorphism classes of transverse knots and the set of isomorphism classes of Legendrian knots modulo negative Legendrian stabilization.

The transverse mass is a useful quantity to define for use in particle physics as it is invariant under Lorentz boost along the z direction. In natural units it is math m T 2 m 2 p x 2 p y 2 , math where the z direction is along the beam pipe and so math p x math and math p y math are the momentum perpendicular to the beam pipe and math m math is the mass. Hadron collider physicists use another definition of transverse mass, in the case of a decay into two particles math M T 2 E T, 1 E T, 2 2 overrightarrow p T, 1 overrightarrow p T, 2 2 math where math E T math is the transverse energy.
