They then, in the same manner, surround the sto-mach, and meeting at its lower border, descend for some distance infront of the intestines, and return to the transverse colon, forming thegreat omentum; they then surround the transverse colon, and passdirectly backwards to the vertebral column, forming the transversemeso-colon. Here the two layers separate; the posterior ascends infront of the pancreas and aorta, and returns to the posterior part ofthe diaphragm, where it becomes the posterior layer with which wecommenced. The anterior descends, invests all the small intestines,and returning to the vertebral column forms the mesentery. It thendescends into the pelvis in front of the rectum, which it holds in itsplace by means of a fold called meso-rectum, forms a pouch, therecto-vesical fold, between the rectum and bladder, ascends upon theposterior surface of the bladder, forming its false ligaments, andret
