Detailed explanation-1: -The greater omentum (or omentum majus), as its name suggests, is the largest of the two omenta. It is an apron like structure that extends from the greater curvature of the stomach and proximal duodenum.
Detailed explanation-2: -The mesentery is a supportive tissue that is rooted into the intestines while the omentum is a portion of fat-derived supportive tissue that plays a protective role during inflammation or infection and it hangs in front of the intestines. This is the key difference between the omentum and the mesentery.
Detailed explanation-3: -Specifically, the greater omentum, consisting of four layers, is attached to two layers of the transverse mesocolon. D3, horizontal or third portion of the duodenum; D4, ascending or fourth portion of the duodenum; SMA, superior mesentery artery.
