27
Q

What happens when there is a union of a branch from the celiac trunk and Superior Mesenteric A.?

A

This marks the transition to the Midgut

The Superior and Inferior Pancreaticoduodenal come from the SMA and Celiac trunk, after this union we transition to the midgut

28
Q

What innervates the Duodenum?

A

Vagus
- Secretomotor to the duodenal mucosa and motor to the duodenal musculature

Greater and Lesser Splanchnic

- Inhibit duodenal peristalsis

29
Q

Where does the duodenal refer pain to?

A

Epigastrium

30
Q

- Ilial
- ileocolic
- Right Colic
- Middle Colic

32
Q

Where is the jejunum located? What artery supplies it?

A

Mostly in the LUQ

Jejunal A.

33
Q

Where is the ilium located? What artery supplies it?

  • Middle Colic: Hepatic Flexure and Transverse Colon
  • Ileocolic: Branches to Ilium, Cecum and Appendix
39
Q

What branches from the Inferior Mesenteric supply the Large Intestine?

A
