The right colic artery is an artery of the abdomen, a branch of the superior mesenteric artery supplying the ascending colon.It divides into two terminal branches - an ascending branch and a descending branch - which form anastomoses with the middle colic artery, and ileocolic artery (respectively).
The left colic flexure or splenic flexure (as it is close to the spleen) is the sharp bend between the transverse colon and the descending colon.The splenic flexure receives dual blood supply from the terminal branches of the superior mesenteric artery and the inferior mesenteric artery.
In vertebrates, the circulatory system is a system of organs that includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood which is circulated throughout the body. [1] [2] It includes the cardiovascular system, or vascular system, that consists of the heart and blood vessels (from Greek kardia meaning heart, and Latin vascula meaning vessels).

The IMA arises from the anterior aspect of the abdominal aorta. [2] [3]Its origin is situated at the L3 vertebral level, [2] [3] below the origins of the two renal arteries, [3] 3-4 cm above the aortic bifurcation, [3] [2] at the level of the umbilicus, and posterior to the inferior border of the horizontal (III) part of the duodenum.
Blood supply to the stomach: left and right gastric artery, left and right gastro-omental artery and short gastric artery. [ 2 ] The celiac artery and its branches; the liver has been raised, and the lesser omentum and anterior layer of the greater omentum removed.
The rest comes from the partially deoxygenated blood from the portal vein. The liver consumes about 20% of the total body oxygen when at rest. That is why the total liver blood flow is quite high, at about 1 litre a minute and up to two litres a minute. That is on average one fourth of the average cardiac output at rest.
The number of arterial arcades in the ileum is more than the number of arcades in the jejunum. [1] The middle, right, and ileocecal branches anastomose with each other to form a marginal artery along the inner border of the colon. This artery is completed by branches of the left colic which is a branch of the inferior mesenteric artery.
