Barbara admits she was totally wasted last night so today's lecture might 
be incoherent.

Abdominal viscera and vascular supply....vascular supply to this region 
very important. GI organs are very mobile and can twist, cutting off 
their vascular supply.

How does blood get to these organs? What are the important vessels to 
know? Realize that there is collateral supply to most of these organs in 
addition to major vessels.

See small millers p. 204

artery enters abdomen. branch comes off ventrally and goes to space bet. 
stomach and liver. This is called the celiac artery, and it branches into 
the L gastric a, at the lesser curve of the stomach, the splenic artery, 
which supplies the spleen and branches into the left gastroepiploic 
supplying the greater curvature, the hepatic goes to the liver (terminal 
branch of celiac.)

Abdominal artery branching...

Aorta
(first, we're doing unpaired branches)
	Celiac a.
	    L gastric a
		splenic a
			L gastroepiploic
		hepatic a
			hepatic branches
			right gastric a
			gastroduodenal a
				R gastroepiploic
				cranial pancreatic
					duodenal
	Cranial Mesenteric
		common colic a
			middle colic a (supplies transverse colon)
			right colic artery (supples ascending colon, ileum,cecum)
			caudal pancreaticoduodenal
		Jejenal arteries (14 of them) (supply jejunum
		Ileal  arteries (one runs through mesentery, one runs on the other 
side)
	Caudal Mesenteric 
		left colic artery (supplies descending colon; anastomosis w/ middle 			
colic artery)
		cranial rectal artery
