===== LIGAMENTS CONNECTING ORGANS =====


There are four ligaments attached to the spleen: 
  * gastrosplenic ligament
  * splenorenal ligament
  * colicosplenic ligament
  * phrenocolic ligament



  * hepatorenal ligament 
  * hepatogastric ligament 
  * hepatoduodenal ligament
  * ligamentum arteriosum 
  * ligamentum venousm 
  * falciform ligament 
  * Suspensory ligament of ovary 
  * Broad ligament 


Most sources divide it into two parts:
  * hepatogastric ligament: the portion connecting to the lesser curvature of the stomach
  * hepatoduodenal ligament: the portion connecting to the duodenum

In some cases, the following ligaments are considered part of the lesser omentum:
  * hepatophrenic ligament: the portion connecting to the thoracic diaphragm[2]
  * hepatoesophageal ligament: the portion connecting to the esophagus[3]
  * hepatocolic ligament: the portion connecting to the colon
