Simultaneously, the greater omentum hangs down from the greater curvature of the stomach in front of the transverse colon and fuses with the transverse mesocolon. Moreover, the drainage vein of the right colon sometimes joins the right gastroepiploic vein, and the gastrocolic trunk is formed. ...
Explore the anatomy, function, and clinical correlates of the transverse colon, including its arterial supply, venous drainage, and innervation.
The transverse colon is an intraperitoneal organ and has several mesenteries attaching to it. The transverse mesocolon anchors it to the posterior abdominal wall. Attaching between the greater curvature of the stomach to the anterior surface of the transverse colon is the apron-like greater omentum...

The lumbar plexus is located on the posterior abdominal wall, anterior to the transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae, and within the posterior portion of the psoas major muscle. It gives rise to several nerves that innervate the lower limbs, including: ...
