The is a broad fold, which connects the
Transverse Colon to the posterior wall of the
Abdomen .
It is continuous with the two posterior layers of the
Greater Omentum , which, after separating to surround the transverse colon, join behind it, and are continued backward to the
Vertebral Column , where they diverge in front of the anterior border of the
Pancreas .
This fold contains between its layers the vessels which supply the transverse colon.
