Quain's elements of anatomy . OMENTA. 729 indicated it may be followed to the transverse fissure of the liver, whereits laminse separate, the anterior, which has already been traced fromabove, spreading on the adjacent part of the liver, the posterior coveringthe Spigelian lobe, where it will be again met with. The attachmentof the combined layers continues backwards from the left end of thetransverse fissure along the fissure of the ductus venosus to the diaphragmon which it runs a short way to reach the oesophagus, where the anteriorlamina covers the end of that tube in front and on the left, and theposterior lamina invests it on the right and behind. From this point,as far as the pylorus, the small omentum is attached to the lesser cur-vature of the stomach, where its laminae separate—one covering theanterior and the other the posterior surface of the organ—but meetingagain at the great curvature, they pass down in conjunction to a variabledistance before the small intestine to form the anterior part of the.
