Rugae are the prominent ridges in the lining of an empty stomach.

The outer layer of a retroperitoneal organ that anchors it to the abdominal wall.

A bulb-like structure where the common bile duct and the main pancreatic duct join.

A muscular valve at the junction between the ileum (small intestine) and the cecum (large intestine).

The lesser omentum connects the lesser curvature of the stomach to the porta hepatis of the liver.

The splenic flexure is the location where the transverse colon turns inferiorly to become the descending colon within the left hypochondriac region.
