Omental
Definition:

Example Sentences:

Omentum
Definition:
(n.) A free fold of the peritoneum, or one serving to connect viscera, support blood vessels, etc.; an epiploon.
Example Sentences:
(1) Although there was a considerable overlap in the values of acoustic nonlinearity of different body fats, in general their values followed the order: mesenteric fat greater than subcutaneous fat greater than omentum fat greater than breast fat.
