peritoneum
The double-layered folds of peritoneum that support the portions of the small intestine are called mesentery. The mesentery provides a pathway for blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics to reach the intestines, in addition to supporting and holding them in place within the abdominal cavity.
The muscles that attach to the greater trochanter are the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus.
The omentum is a double-layered fold of peritoneum that acts as an anchor for organs in the abdominal cavity. It helps to hold organs in place and prevent them from shifting or moving excessively. Additionally, the ligaments in the body provide further support and help to maintain the position of organs within the body.
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.
The greater omentum is a large fold of the peritoneum. It hangs down from the stomach reaching down to the transverse colon. The greater omentum is filled with fat, preventing heat loss from the organs. It also provides padding to protect the organs.
Greater Omentum
No, the lacy apron of the peritoneum that covers the abdominal organs and connects the stomach and liver is called the greater omentum. The lesser omentum connects the liver and the lesser curvature of the stomach.

The greater omentum
The greater omentum is located in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen. It drapes over the transverse colon and small intestines, providing support and insulation for these organs.
The attachments of the greater omentum are: # The Dorsal Abdominal Wall # The Greater Curvature of the Stomach

Yes, the greater omentum can contain lymph nodes along its peritoneal folds. These lymph nodes are part of the greater omentum's role in the immune system, helping to filter and trap foreign particles or pathogens.
The membrane that covers the organs of the digestive system like a curtain is called the peritoneum. It lines the abdominal cavity and helps support and protect the digestive organs.
