Big seal (Epiploon)

The Greater Omentum or Epiploon is an anatomical formation that is located in the abdominal cavity and serves to protect the internal organs from external influences. It consists of connective tissue covered on the outside with a serous membrane.

The greater omentum is the greater omentum that surrounds the intestines and other internal organs. It plays an important role in the human body, as it protects internal organs from mechanical damage and infections, and also participates in metabolism.

The greater omentum can be damaged as a result of injury, surgery, or other illnesses. In such cases, it is necessary to carry out diagnosis and treatment to prevent possible complications.

In addition, the greater omentum can be used as a graft in abdominal surgery. This is due to its high regeneration capacity and wound healing ability.

Thus, the omentum plays an important role in maintaining human health and protecting internal organs. Its importance should not be underestimated, so it is necessary to monitor its condition and, if necessary, treat it.

Omentum **Large omental bursa** (** omental bursa**, Latin sálcus “abscess”) is a small formation of connective tissue in birds, located above the cloaca. The function of the bag is the temporary storage of products that have a more or less thick odor (in males during the maturation of sperm during mating); it is released into the external environment through the juice-secreting duct. In males, the contents of the pouch is about 2.5-3 thousand cm³, in females it is about five times more, which is explained by the high content of nitrogen metabolic products in it.

In birds of prey, the omental bursa is well defined. The bursa has several extensions and merges with adjacent body cavities, forming a long, striated, thickened part of the abdominal wall, into which 650-700 g of liquid can be placed.
