A B Fig. 272. Longitudinal diagrams showing development of the great omentum in man. a, at four months; b, in adult. (After Arey and Kollmann.) In mammals the mesogaster, which it will be remembered is composed of two layers of peritoneal tissue, becomes greatly elongated until it extends from the stomach posteriorly, in between ventral body wall and the coils of the intestine, to serve as a sort of ventral protective blanket for the viscera (Fig. 272). This folded portion of the mesogaster, known as the greater omentum, is a bag the walls of which are two layers thick. Where these walls become closely applied to one another in the posterior part of the sac, this omentum is an apron four layers thick. The omentum is also a storage organ for extensive fat deposits, laid down between what were originally the two mesenteric Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Walter, Herbert Eugene, b. 1867; Sayles, Leonard Perkins, 1902-.
