context_page_description: A fold of peritoneum, the phrenicocolic ligament is continued from the left colic flexure to the thoracic diaphragm opposite the tenth and eleventh ribs; it passes below and serves to support the spleen, and therefore has received the name of sustentaculum lienis.
  The phrenicocolic ligament is also called Hensing's ligament after Friedrich Wilhelm Hensing, a German professor for medicine in Gießen.
