Omentum
The omentum is part of the peritoneum and has a special function, see biological purpose.
Whether it is the left or right side of the abdominal net depends on biological laterality.
Theme
Ugly, mean abdominal conflict, for example, a tumor in the abdomen.
CA phase
Cell increase in the omentum. This may be flat growing of the resorptive quality or a compact growth (cauliflower-link) of the secretory quality (see endoderm).
Biological purpose
- Flat growing, resorptive type: folding around an inflamed organ and encapsulating it. For example, in appendicitis.
- Compact growing, secretory type: secreting a lubricant to allow organs to move smoothly in the abdominal cavity.
Symptoms
None.
PCL phase
Functional normalization. Removal of cells by TB bacteria, if present. This is often accompanied by deformities.
Encapsulated old inflammatory programs are called "cold abscesses."
