Arterial supply to the gastrointestinal tract
derived from the anterior midline visceral branches of the aorta
usually three anterior branches, the coeliac trunk and the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries
![Page 16: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

The coeliac trunk and its branches supply from the distal third of the
oesophagus to the mid part of the duodenum and all derived adenexae
1. liver, 2. biliary tree, 3. spleen, 4. dorsal pancreas, 5. greater omentum and lesser omentum).
![Page 18: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The superior mesenteric artery supplies the tract from the mid second
part of the duodenum to the distal third of the transverse colon (jejunum, ileum, caecum, appendix, ascending colon and ileal mesentery).
![Page 19: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The inferior mesenteric artery supplies the tract from the distal
transverse colon to the upper anal canal.
![Page 20: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

The anastomoses between the territories of the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries are less pronounced and more variable:
the most reliable is the pericolic marginal artery, which runs along the transverse colon.

Arterial anastomoses of the stomach
between the oesophageal arteries originating from the thoracic aorta and the vessels that supply the fundus in the region of the cardiac orifice..
![Page 27: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
At the pyloric orifice -some anastomosis between vessels of superior mesenteric artery origin and the pyloric vessels
The major named vessels supplying the stomach form extensive arterial anastomoses both on the serosal surface and around the curvatures.
![Page 28: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The right and left gastroepiploic arteries and the left and right gastric arteries anastomose freely with each other along the greater and lesser curvatures respectively.
![Page 29: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Anastomoses also form between the short gastric and left gastric arteries in the region of the fundus, and between the right gastric and right gastroepiploic arteries in the region of the antrum.

In addition to the extensive serosal anastomoses, networks form within the stomach wall at intramuscular, submucosal and mucosal levels
![Page 31: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
A true plexus of small arteries and arterioles is present within the submucosa
It supplies the mucosa and shows considerable regional variation both in the gastric wall and in the proximal duodenum.
![Page 32: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The rich arterial supply to the stomach ensures that the high mucosal blood flow required for physiological functioning is maintained even if one or more vessels become occluded
The stomach exhibits considerable resistance to ischaemia even when multiple arterial supplies are lost.

Arterial anastomoses and the marginal artery of the colon
The marginal artery (of Drummond) of the colon is the name given to the vessel which lies closest to and parallels the wall of the large intestine.
Formed by the main trunks, and the arcades arising from, the ileocolic and right colic, middle colic and left colic arteries.
![Page 40: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
![Page 41: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
It is most apparent in the ascending, transverse and descending colons
The sigmoid colon has little if any marginal artery.
![Page 42: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Anastomoses form between the main terminal branches which run parallel to the colon within the mesentery and give rise to vasa recta and vasa brevia to supply the colon.
![Page 43: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The arc of Riolan is the name given to the arterial anastomosis which is sometimes present in the mesentery between the right side of the transverse colon and the upper descending colon.
![Page 44: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
When present it is formed from a large branch of the middle colic artery which runs parallel and posterior to the middle colic artery in the transverse mesocolon and anastomoses with an ascending branch of the left colic artery close to its origin in the root of the mesentery.
![Page 45: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
This provides a direct communication between the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries.
![Page 46: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Colonic vascular occlusion
The marginal artery of the colon may become massively dilated when there is chronic, progressive occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery
![Page 47: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
under these conditions it is required to supply the majority of the midgut (except the proximal portion which is supplied by collateral vessels from the coeliac artery).
![Page 48: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Occlusion of the inferior mesenteric artery does not always result in irreversible ischaemia of the descending and sigmoid colon, because the marginal artery of the colon usually receives an adequate supply from the left branch of the middle colic artery
![Page 49: Blood supply of Alimentary tract](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568163c2550346895dd4e761/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Moreover, the sigmoid arteries may be supplied by the superior rectal artery, which anastomoses with the middle and inferior rectal arteries.
When ischaemia does occur, it is usually maximal in the proximal descending colon because this region is furthest from the collateral arterial supplies.
