    • divides to R and L
  • hepatic vein: carries filtered blood to the IVC
  • hepatic artery: supplies oxy blood to parenchyma of liver
44
Q

haustra

A

A
48
Q

where does esophagus enter the abdominal cavity?

A

through the elliptical esophageal hiatus in the muscular right crus of the diaphragm, to the left of the median plane at the level of the T10 vertebra

Q

blood flow to spleen

A

blood from large splenic artery

50
Q

where is rectus abdominus?

A
51
Q

deep arterial supply of anterior abdomin (superior, lateral and inferior)
