The SMA supplies the superior portion of the intestine.
The small intestine has 3 parts: duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The large intestine starts on the right with the ascending colon proceeds across the body as the transverse colon and then goes down on the left side of the body as the descending colon. The descending colon becomes the sigmoid colon. The rectum and anal canal follow. The celiac trunk gives off the common hepatic artery, which branches into the proper hepatic artery and the gastroduodenal artery. The gastroduodenal artery gives off the supraduodenal, retroduodenal, anterior and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries. These 4 arteries supply the duodenum. The superior mesenteric artery branches into several different arteries. The anterior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal arteries supply the duodenum. Intestinal arteries have a complex network of arcades that feed the jejunum and ileum. The ileocecal artery off the SMA gives off branches to the terminal ileum and the cecum. The right colic artery supplies the ascending colon. The inferior mesenteric artery branches into the middle colic artery, which supplies the transverse colon; the left colic artery, which supplies the descending colon; the sigmoid artery, to the sigmoid colon; rectosigmoid artery, in between the rectum and the sigmoid colon; superior rectal artery, to the uppermost part of the rectum.
The vessels that supply blood to the diaphragm are the inferior phrenic arteries and branches of the musculophrenic artery. These blood vessels provide oxygenated blood to the diaphragm, which is essential for its function in breathing.
The motor speech area, specifically Broca's area, is primarily supplied by branches of the middle cerebral artery, such as the superior division of the middle cerebral artery. Interruption of blood supply to this area can lead to expressive aphasia, or difficulty with speech production.
The liver and kidneys are examples of organs that have dual blood supply. They receive blood from both the hepatic portal system and the hepatic artery (liver) and from the renal artery and renal vein (kidneys). This dual blood supply is important for their functions in filtering and processing blood.
The pterygopalatine ganglion receives its blood supply from branches of the maxillary artery, such as the sphenopalatine artery.
superior mesenteric artery
It is a condition in which a person vomits after meals due to blockage of the blood supply to the intestine
The superior mesenteric artery supply the from the second part of duodenum to two third of the transverse colon. This include the entire small intestine. The inferior mesenteric artery supply the rest of the colon to upper part of the rectum.
Colic arteries supply blood to colon.Human colon has different portions (ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon and sigmoid colon).Right colic artery supplies blood to ascending colon.Middle colic artery supplies blood to tranverse colon.Left colic artery supplies blood to the descending colon.Sigmoid arteries (two or three) supplies blood to sigmoid colon.The right colic and middle colic arteries are branches of superior mesentric artery.The left coliac artery and sigmoid arteries are branches of inferior esentric artery.
D. Inferior vena cava is not part of the splanchnic circulation. The splanchnic circulation includes the celiac artery, hepatic portal vein, and superior mesenteric artery, which supply blood to the digestive organs. The inferior vena cava returns blood from the lower body to the heart.
The primary blood supply to the intestines comes from the three branches from the abdominal aorta. These include the celiac artery and the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries.
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.
The abdominal aorta is the primary artery supplying blood to many abdominal structures, giving rise to several major branches. Key branches include the celiac trunk, which supplies the liver, stomach, and spleen; the superior mesenteric artery, which supplies the small intestine and parts of the large intestine; and the inferior mesenteric artery, which supplies the distal colon and rectum. These arteries ensure adequate blood flow to vital organs within the abdominal cavity.
The arterial supply of the gallbladder is from the cystic artery which is a branch of the right hepatic artery.
The upper rectum receives its blood supply from branches of the inferior mesenteric artery from the abdomen
Posterior Division: Iliolumbar artery, lateral sacral artery, superior gluteal artery. Anterior Division: inferior gluteal artery, middle rectal artery, uterine artery, obturator artery, inferior vesical artery, superior vesical artery, obliterated umbilical artery, internal pudendal artery
The intestinal artery, primarily the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and inferior mesenteric artery (IMA), supplies blood to the intestines. The SMA primarily serves the small intestine and the proximal large intestine, while the IMA supplies the distal large intestine. This blood supply is crucial for delivering oxygen and nutrients to the intestinal tissues, supporting digestion and absorption processes. Additionally, the arteries help maintain intestinal health by facilitating waste removal and nutrient transport.
