Which organs are retroperitoneal?
Remembered by the mnemonic SAD PUCKER

What is the blood supply of the pancreas?
Mainly splenic artery (from coeliac trunk)
Head and uncinate process are from superior pancreaticoduodenal from gastroduodenal, and inferior pancreaticoduodenal from SMA
Blood supply of the oeseophagus
Cervical - inferior thyroid A+V
Thoracic - aortic branches and azygous
Abdominal - inferior phrenic and gastric
Blood supply of the duodenum
Upto ampulla of vater - superiopancreaticoduodenal from gastroduodenal from coeliac
After ampulla - inferiopancreaticoduodenal from SMA
