The omentummajus or gastro-colic epiploon is the part that hangs down from thestomach in Fig. 11. The mucous or lining membrane is of a whitish, marbled, red appear-ance, having a number of irregular folds, situate especially along theinferior and superior margins of the organ. These folds are evident,also, at the splenic extremity; and are more numerous and marked,the more the stomach is contracted. They are radiated towards thecardiac,—longitudinal towards the pyloric, orifice. This membrane,like every other of the kind, exhales an albuminous fluid. It contains. Fig. 12.
