Reflections.—The reflections of the peritoneum viewed inan anteroposterior section (the greater and lesser sacs together)may be traced as follows: From the diaphragm it is reflected tothe upper surface of the liver. Enveloping this organ it thenpresents a doubling or fold—the gastrohepatic omentum—ex-tending downward from the transverse hepatic fissure to thelesser curvature of the stomach. Inclosing the stomach, it isreflected upon itself in front of the intestines as a broad apron?—the great omentum (omentum majus)—making a quadruplefold off peritoneum. The two layers then embrace the transverse colon, uniteand pass back to the vertebral column, forming the transverse THE ALIMENTARY APPARATUS. 235.
