The suspensory muscle of duodenum or ligament of Treitz(named after Václav Treitz) connects the duodenum of the small intestines to the diaphragm. It contains a slender band of skeletal muscle from the diaphragm and a fibromuscular band of smooth muscle from the horizontal and ascending parts of the duodenum. When it contracts, the suspensory muscle of the duodenum wides the angle of the duodenojejunal flexure, allowing movement of the intestinal contents. 1, record 1, English, - suspensory%20muscle%20of%20duodenum
