Others, which connect certain parts of the intestine with the abdominal wall, constitute the mesenteries; and lastly, those which proceed from the stomach to certain viscera in its neighborhood are called omenta. The ligaments, formed by folds of the peritoneum, include those of the liver, spleen, bladder, and uterus. They will be found described with their respective organs. The omenta are the lesser omentum, the greater omentum, and the gastrosplenic omentum. The lesser or gastrohepatic omentum (omentum minus) (Figs. 996 and 999) is the duplicature which extends between the transverse fissure of the liver and the right side of the abdominal portion of the oesophagus, the lesser curvature of the stomach, and the upper portion of the superior surface of the duodenum. Papillayy tubercle Cut edge of peritoneum. Cut edge of pei itoneum Fig. 999.—Bursa omentalis, or lesser sac, opened from the front by an incision through the gastrocolic omen- tum. A probe passes through the foramen of Winslow and rests on the gastropancreatic fold. (Hecle.) The portion going to the oesophagus and stomach is called the hepatogastric ligament (/1,9a- mentum hepatogastricum). The division of the ligament which goes to the oesophagus is strong and dense; the division which goes to the lesser curvature of the stomach is thin and relaxed. The portion of the lesser omentum which goes to the duodenum is continuous with the first- named portion. It is called the hepatoduodenal ligament (Hgamentinn hcpatoditodenale). The right margin of this ligament is free and concave. The hepatocolic Ugament (ligavientwn hepatocolicum is not invariably present. It is a fold of the hepatoduodenal ligament and runs from the
