The structure attached to the lesser curvature of the stomach is a mesentery called the lesser omentum. this receives bile from the liver and sends it to the stomach.
The lesser omentum is the structure that is attached to the lesser curvature of the stomach. It is thin but has two layers of serous membrane.
The lesser omentum is the double-layered membrane that is attached to the lesser curvature of the stomach. It connects the stomach and liver, providing support and helping to anchor the stomach in place within the abdominal cavity.
The lesser curvature of the stomach.
Lesser omentum
the lesser curvature of the stomach is a concave curve
The stomach has a greater and lesser curvature. The greater curvature is the more lateral of the two.
The greater omentum is located in the stomach. It is like an apron that extends from the greater curvature of the stomach to the transverse colon. Its purpose is for fat deposition, immune contribution, and infection and wound isolation. The lesser omentum, on the other hand, extends from the liver to the lesser curvature of the stomach. There is no known function of the lesser omentum.

Curvatures of the stomach:Lesser Curvature forms the right border of stomach, which extends from cardiac orifice to the pylorus. The lesser omentum is attached to lesser curvature and the liver. 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.
A marked "notching" curve roughly in the middle of the lesser curvature of teh stomach nearer to the pylorus than the cardium.
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).
The greater and lesser curvatures are the two main curved surfaces of the stomach. The greater curvature serves as an attachment point for the greater omentum and provides a larger surface area for the stomach, facilitating the storage and mixing of food. The lesser curvature, on the other hand, connects to the liver via the lesser omentum and plays a role in the stomach's blood supply and movement during digestion. Together, they help in the mechanical and chemical processing of food.
