abdominal aorta
Which areas of the gut have a mixed blood supply and don’t follow the embryological segment rules?
Duodenum proximal to distal- coeliac to superior mesenteric
Head of pancreas coeliac turn

The abdomen and thorax start as one large cavity in embryo folding, it later subdivides with the formation of the diaphragm. This cavity is somatic and splanchnic mesoderm sac.
