My best guess would be that it is simply a thickened portion of the upper median surface of the intestine to keep the "balls" of digesting nutriment or other hard particles in the intestine from "grinding" against the nerve-cord as they are crowded along in the process of digestion.

To this cause may be attributed all the mental distresses and all the bodily afflictions of individuals the disturbances which too often prevent domestic enjoyment the bickerings and jealousies of families with their various alliances the animosities that annoy social life the intestine broils, ambitious emulations, and endless contentions, that distract a state, with every other form and mode of evil.
Honest M. de Fontenay, who had been twice ambassador at Rome, a man of great experience and good sense and a hearty well-wisher to his country, daily condoled with me on the lethargy into which the intestine divisions had lulled the best citizens and patriots.
