Question of the day
When you have appendicitis, why greater omentum tends to wrap around the appendix? What mechanism?
Interesting question, greater omentum runs down as a barrier to prevent inflammation spreading to the parietal peritoneum or abdominal wall, but how? I don't know? Cytokines and adipose tissue? Dunno........

Good question! lets ask those surgeon who always operate on patients wif appendicitis.
That's what they always say, look for where greater omentum wrap around, that's where u can find the inflamed appendix, or just follow the tinea coli for the location of appendix. LOL
