A

vagus parasympathetics, L1
distal duodenum to proximal 2/3 of transverse colon
midgut
–>inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (anastamosis with sup pancreaticoduodenal aa–>gastroduodenal–>from common hepatic–> celiac)

below–external hemmorrhoids, fissures, squamous cell carcinoma

internal spermatic fascia (transversalis fascia)

28
Q

A
