What is the double layered peritoneal membrane that extends from the stomach inferiorly hanging like an apron over the contents of the abdominal cavity?

This structure is called the Greater Omentum. As the question states it is a double layered membrane. It extends down from the bottom of the Stomach and hangs covering the whole od the small intestin, then folds at the bottom to come back up and rejoin at the top part of the Transverse Colon. Technically this part is only the Gastrocolic Ligament as the Greater oementum also contains two maller ligaments; the Gastrophrenic and Gastrosplenic Ligaments. The function of the greater omentum is involved in the immune response, it is to move to any area of infection and wrap around it, effectively quaranteening it.
