In the last group of the anatomy teaching this morning I was struggling to think of the right name for the little fatty bits of peritoneum hanging off the large bowel. The textbook calls them omental appendices, which I know is correct but doesn’t have the right feel. A quick search of the web turns up the other (older?) name: epiploic appendices. What an awesome sounding term. Say it out loud five times. I think the words link my memory back to my own anatomy learning by dissection.
Epiploic appendices. Nice.
