  2. Superior mesenteric artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_mesenteric_artery

    In human anatomy, the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is an artery which arises from the anterior surface of the abdominal aorta, just inferior to the origin of the celiac trunk, and supplies blood to the intestine from the lower part of the duodenum through two-thirds of the transverse colon, as well as the pancreas.

  3. Superior mesenteric vessels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_mesenteric_vessels

    The superior mesenteric vessels are composed of the superior mesenteric artery and the superior mesenteric vein.. In human anatomy, the superior mesenteric artery arises from the anterior surface of the abdominal aorta, just inferior to the origin of the celiac trunk, and supplies the intestine from the lower part of the duodenum through two-thirds of the transverse colon, as well as the pancreas.

  5. Transpyloric plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transpyloric_plane

    The superior mesenteric artery arises from the aorta at the level of the transpyloric plane and emerges between the head and neck of the pancreas. [8] The superior mesenteric vein is joined by the splenic vein to form the portal vein at the level of the transpyloric plane. [2] [8]

  6. Hepatic portal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatic_portal_system

    The inferior mesenteric vein connects in the majority of people on the splenic vein, but in some people, it is known to connect on the portal vein or the superior mesenteric vein. Roughly, the portal venous system corresponds to areas supplied by the celiac trunk, the superior mesenteric artery, and the inferior mesenteric artery.

  7. Mesenteric arteries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesenteric_arteries

    The term mesenteric artery is also used to describe smaller branches of these vessels which, particularly in smaller animals, provide a significant source of vascular resistance. These branches have a dense innervation by sympathetic nerves, allowing the brain to control their diameter and hence the resistance to blood flow to the gut.

  8. Kocher manoeuvre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kocher_manoeuvre

    Superior mesenteric artery exposure: The SMA is a critical vascular structure, and the Kocher manoeuvre exposes its supramesenteric segment. This exposure is valuable for identifying and managing aberrant vessels, such as the right hepatic artery arising from the SMA. [1] Control of portal vein in hemorrhage:

  9. Inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_pancreatico...

    The inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery is a branch of the superior mesenteric artery. This occurs opposite the upper border of the inferior part of the duodenum. As soon as it branches, it divides into anterior and posterior branches. These run between the head of the pancreas and the lesser curvature of the
