1. What side of the abdomen does the AO lie on?: left
2. What side of the abdomen does the IVC lie on?: right
3. First major anterior branch of AAO =: celiac axis (CA)
4. Celiac artery AKA: celiac trunk, celiac axis
5. Where does the celiac artery originate ?: prox aorta
6. What does the CA branch into?: hepatic artery, splenic artery, left gastric artery
7. What does the right branch of the CA branch into?: hepatic artery
8. What does the hepatic artery feed?: liver
9. What percentage of the hepatic artery feeds the liver?: 25%
10.What does the left branch of the CA branch into?: splenic artery
11.What does the splenic artery feed?: spleen
12.Second major anterior branch of AAO =: superficial mesenteric artery (SMA)
13.What does the SMA feed?: right and left renal arteries
14.How will the SMA run with AAO?: parallel
15.What does the SMA supply blood to?: small and large intestine
16.What is the most tortuous vessel in the body?: splenic artery
17.In a transverse view, what lies between the AO and SMA?: splenic vein (SV)
