Extents from the end of the duodenum to the ileocolic junction. End of the duodenum and beginning of ilium cannot be distinguished grossly, but
|
|
Inferior Mesenteric Artery
|
Branches off the abdominal aorta towards the left. Provides blood to the descending and sigmoid colon plus the rectum.
|
|
Inferior Mesenteric Vein
|
Inferior branch of the splenic vein which branches of the hepatic portal vein.
|
|
Inferior Pancreaticoduodenal artery
|
superior most branch of the superior mesenteric artery. Splits into an anterior (duodenal) and posterior (pancreatic) part.
|
|
Intestinal branches forming arcades
|
Branches of the superior mesenteric artery
|
|
Jejunum
|
Begins where the ascending (4th part) of the duodenum ends. It is supplied by the mesentery proper.
|
|
Left Colic Artery
|
superior most branch of the inferior mesenteric artery. Splits into the ascending and descending branches.

|
Left Gastric Artery
|
Branches from the celiac trunk. above the splenic artery
|
|
Left Gastroepiploic artery
|
Branch of the splenic artery proximal most to the spleen.
|
|

|
Branches to the left from the proper hepatic artery which is the superior branch of the common hepatic artery.
|
|
left lobe of the liver
|
Lobe to the left of the round ligament. Its the smaller lobe.
|
|
marginal artery
|
The recurrent part of the superior mesenteric artery. It also branches superiorly to supply blood to the transverse colon.
|
|
Major duodenal papilla
|
entry of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct into the duodenum.
|
|
middle colic artery
|
branches superiorly from the superior mesenteric artery. Anastomoses with the marginal artery which runs parallel to the transverse colon.
|
|
Pancreatic Duct
|
Enters the major duodenal papilla along with the common bile duct. Exocrine duct of the pancreas. Becomes visible at the middle of the pancreatic head
|

|
Above the caudate lobe. Lies superior to the porta hepatis.
|
|

|
|
Right colic artery
|
