On the diagram of the DS, it shows the bilopancreatic limb up next to the liver, but is it attached to anything there? Or just hanging loose? If loose, what keeps it from wandering away?
Thank you. I knew there had to be an answer. I just didn’t know what it was.The first portion of the BP limb, i.e. most of the duodenum, has attachments that are left in place when the duodenum is divided. It won't go anywhere.

Yes, the mesentery is attached to all of the small intestine, including the duodenum. But no, the mesentery is not attached to the abdominal wall, unless by adhesions from, for example, abdominal surgery.
