Inferior mesenteric
What are the three branches of the aorta?
Celiac, superior and inferior mesenteric arteries
What 3 primary veins collect nutrient rich blood from the intestine and transport it to the hepatic portal?

Mesenteric artery in human?
There are two mesenteric arteries in the human the superior and inferior. Both leave the descending aorta directly nad supply the GI tract. These arteries provide the definition of the the boundaries of the foregut, midgut and hindgut. The superior supplies the midgut and the inferior supplies the hindgut.
What does the inferior mesenteric vein drain?
The Inferior Mesenteric Vein (iMV) drains into the splenic vein. The splenic vein ultimately "meets up" with the Superior Mesenteric Vein (SMV) to form the Hepatic Portal Vein (HPV)
Where is the splenic confluence?
Also called the portal splenic confluence. This is the area where the splenic vein meets the superior mesenteric vein. Together, posterior to the neck of the pancreas, these veins form the portal vein.
The hepatic vein enters what blood vessel?
inferior vena cava
What are the three veins that form and empty the hepatic portal vein?
The hepatic portal vein is created by the anastamoses between the superior mesenteric vein and spleinc vein. It is arguable that the inferior mesenteric vein joins at this same anastomoses but generally it actually joins the splenic vein which then meats the sup. mesenteric vein as stated above. The veins that drain into the portal vein (ie above the ansastmoses between the splenic and sup. mesenteric) are the cystic vein, the right gastric vein and the posterior-superior part of the pancreaticoduodenal vein.
Which of these is not part of the splanchnic circulation A celiac artery B hepatic portal vein C superior mesenteric artery D inferior vena cava?
inferior vena cava
Which of the following supplies blood to parts of the intestinal tract A superior mesenteric artery B inferior mesenteric artery C right carotid artery D left carotid artery?
Phrenic arteries
Supplies most of the small intestine?
The superior mesenteric
