The fatty membrane that hangs like an apron from the inferolateral margin of the stomach and overlies the small intestine is called the Greater omentum.

Omentum is a layer of flat adipose tissue layer present between the digestive system and the outer layer that has a key function in protection, tissue regeneration and immune regulation.

The omentum that attaches the stomach with the transverse colon and covers the whole intestine is called greater omentum.

The omentum that attaches stomach and duodenum is called the lesser omentum.

andre [41]

Answer:

diverse proteins embedded in a phospholipid bilayer

Explanation:

According to fluid mosaic model the cell membrane is made of bilayer of phospholipid. Many proteins are embedded in this bi layer. Carbohydrate and cholesterol are also found in different forms. Carbohydrate can either be attached to the embedded protein in which case it is called as glycoprotein or it can be connected to the lipid molecule in layer and called as glycolipid.

Proteins can be found in two forms too. They can either be embedded in the layer i.e. they can penetrate single or both layers. These proteins are called as integral proteins. They can also be present on one side of the membrane and not penetrate the lipid bilayer in which case they are called as peripheral proteins.
