2024年4月20日 · The superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is a major artery of the abdomen. It arises from the abdominal aorta, and supplies arterial blood to the organs of the midgut – which spans from the major duodenal papilla (of the duodenum) to the proximal 2/3 of the transverse colon.

2021年7月26日 · The superior mesenteric artery plays a vital role in keeping the digestive system healthy and functioning. If the artery clogs with plaque or develops a clot, blood flow to digestive organs slows. Rarely, the superior mesenteric artery presses against a renal vein or the duodenum, causing potentially life-threatening problems.

2023年7月25日 · The superior mesenteric artery arises from the abdominal aorta at the level of the first lumbar vertebral body L1, approximately a centimeter below the coeliac trunk. It arises above the renal arteries (that arise at vertebral level L1-L2). The superior mesenteric artery supplies the midgut, while the inferior mesenteric artery supplies the ...

2025年1月24日 · The superior mesenteric artery (SMA) plays a critical role in supplying oxygenated blood to a large portion of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Specifically, it provides blood to most of the small intestine and parts of the large …

2020年12月17日 · The superior mesenteric artery supplies the midgut. The midgut is the section of the intestine which runs from just below the major duodenal papilla through two-thirds of the way across the transverse colon. What we can see here is that just above the superior mesenteric artery is this celiac artery. The celiac artery lies at the level of the ...

In human anatomy, the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is an artery which arises from the anterior surface of the abdominal aorta, just inferior to the origin of the celiac trunk, and supplies blood to the intestine from the lower part of the duodenum through two-thirds of the transverse colon, as well as the pancreas.

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is usually relevant with rapid weight loss and largely attributed to depletion of the mesenteric fat pad which normally serves as a cushion around the...

Superior mesenteric artery is second ventral branch of abdominal aorta which arises from 1 cm below coelic trunk, opposite L1 vertebrae and supplies lower portion of duodenum, whole jejunum,...

2024年12月19日 · The superior mesenteric artery is the artery to the midgut. It supplies the gut from the ampulla of Vater of the 2 nd part of the duodenum to the distal third of the transverse colon, and includes structures in between such as 5: jejunum. ileum. appendix. cecum. ascending colon. hepatic flexure. proximal 2/3rd of the transverse colon
