Mesentery
The greater omentum arises from the greater curvature of the stomach. It is a large apron-like structure made of fatty tissue that hangs down over the intestines.
Approximately 50% of the plasma membrane is made up of fatty acids, which are essential components of phospholipids forming the lipid bilayer of the membrane. These fatty acids provide the plasma membrane with flexibility and help regulate its fluidity.
Fatty acids in the plasma membrane help provide structure and flexibility to the membrane. They also play a role in cell signaling and transport processes by interacting with membrane proteins and influencing their activity. Additionally, they can affect the fluidity and permeability of the membrane.
