as the stomach rotates during early development, the dorsal and ventral mesentery rotate with it; this rotation produces a space anterior to the expanding stomach called the greater sac, and a space posterior to the stomach called the lesser sac. after this rotation the dorsal mesentery thins and forms the greater omentum, which is attached to the greater curvature of the stomach. the ventral mesentery forms the lesser omentum, and is attached to the developing liver. in the adult, these connective structures of omentum and mesentery form the peritoneum, and act as an insulating and protective layer while also supplying organs with blood and lymph vessels as well as nerves. arterial supply to all these structures is from the celiac trunk, and venous drainage is by the portal venous system. lymph from these organs is drained to the prevertebral celiac nodes at the origin of the celiac artery from the aorta.
