Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The greater omentum is a fatty apron that drapes over the anterior and lateral portions of the abdomen. It contains adipose tissue and is known for its immune function and ability to provide padding and protection for organs within the abdominal cavity. The falciform ligament, mesentery proper, and lesser omentum are all part of the peritoneal membrane and do not contain significant amounts of adipose tissue. The diaphragm is a muscle and does not contain adipose tissue.
