"the greater omentum hangs from the greater curvature of the stomach like an apron"
"the lesser omentum attaches the lesser curvature of the stomach to the liver superiorly"
"The greater omentum is the largest peritoneal fold, consisting of a double sheet folded upon itself and thus made up of four layers. The two layers of peritoneum descend from the greater curve of the stomach and proximal duodenum passing inferiorly, anterior to the small bowel for a variable distance, and then turn superiorly again to insert into the anterosuperior aspect of the transverse colon. The left border is continuous with the gastrosplenic ligament; the right extends as far as the origin of the duodenum."
"The lesser omentum is the fold of peritoneum extending from the lesser curvature of the stomach and proximal 2 cm of the duodenum to the porta hepatis of the liver. It is formed by hepatogastric and hepatoduodenal ligaments."
