Omental

The liver, which is the relay station for energy circulation in the body, has immediate access to this omental fat, unlike the cellulose cluttering up the back of our thighs. ❋ Michael F. Roizen (2009)

Of the numerous risk factors for back pain (including smoking, your job, age, and certain diseases such as arthritis), omental obesity (obesity around your abdominal tissues and organs) and core muscle weakness are the biggest. ❋ Michael F. Roizen (2008)

One of the reasons why men lose libido: omental fat fat around the belly. ❋ Michael F. Roizen (2008)

The viscera were pulled out; and the kidneys, liver, heart and lings, and the omental and mesenteric fat the fat surrounding the intestines were separated from the rest, and cooked on the hot stones and coals for 5 minutes. ❋ Unknown (2006)

My friend Nick is recovering after surgery to help address idiopathic omental torsion with segmental infarction. ❋ Kerron Cross (2006)

The omental layer of fat is the fat that covers your organs. ❋ Unknown (2006)

The anterior surface (facies anterior) is somewhat concave; and is directed forward and upward: it is covered by the postero-inferior surface of the stomach which rests upon it, the two organs being separated by the omental bursa. ❋ Unknown (1918)

It commences on the right in the omental tuberosity, and is in relation with the celiac artery, from which the hepatic artery courses to the right just above the gland, while the lienal artery runs toward the left in a groove along this border. ❋ Unknown (1918)

Its anterior surface has two areas: an upper one, covered by the peritoneum of the omental bursa, which separates it from the cardiac end of the stomach, and sometimes from the superior extremity of the spleen; and a lower one, which is in contact with the pancreas and lienal artery, and is therefore not covered by the peritoneum. ❋ Unknown (1918)

It then turns backward and passes from left to right behind the omental bursa and ends in the portal vein. ❋ Unknown (1918)

One, the phrenicolienal ligament, is derived from the peritoneum, where the wall of the general peritoneal cavity comes into contact with the omental bursa between the left kidney and the spleen; the lienal vessels pass between its two layers (Fig. 1039). ❋ Unknown (1918)

The areas in contact with the stomach and spleen are covered by the peritoneum of the omental bursa, while that in relation to the small intestine is covered by the peritoneum of the general cavity; behind the latter are some branches of the left colic vessels. ❋ Unknown (1918)
