The lesser omentum forms the anterior boundary of the omental foramen and contains hepatic artery, portal vein and bile duct within its lower border.Greater Curvature extends from left of cardiac orifice, over dome of fundus, and along left border of stomach to the pylorus.The gastrosplenic ligament attaches to the upper part of the greater curvature and the greater omentum attaches to its lower part.
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.

What is the greater curvature in the stomach?
The stomach, part of the gastrointestinal tract, is a digestive organ located between the esophagus and the duodenum. It has a 'J' shape, and features a lesser and greater curvature. The anterior and posterior surfaces are smoothly rounded with a peritoneal covering. The greater curvature forms the long, convex, lateral border of the stomach. Arising at the cardiac orifice, it arches backwards and passes inferiorly to the left. It curves to the right as it continues medially to reach the pyloric antrum (opening to the pylorus).
What system is stomach in?
