Visible branches include the left gastric artery from the left side, the splenic artery passing to the left hypochondrium, and the common hepatic artery on the right. The common hepatic gives rise to the gastroduodenal artery, which connects to the superior mesenteric artery, and the proper hepatic artery, which branches into the left and right hepatic arteries. The right hepatic artery eventually forms the cystic artery supplying the gallbladder.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuperior Mesenteric Artery and Inferior Mesenteric Artery\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe superior and inferior mesenteric arteries arise at L1 and L3, supplying the midgut and hindgut. While not fully preserved, the superior mesenteric artery is visible exiting below the pancreas and branching out, and the inferior mesenteric artery descends along the left side of the aorta. The left colic artery branches from the inferior mesenteric artery, supplying the colon via the marginal arteries.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVenous System of the Abdomen\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe superior mesenteric vein lies posterior to the artery and appears less tubular. Removal of the liver’s left lobe exposes portal vein branches, which carry nutrients from the gut to hepatocytes before draining via hepatic veins into the inferior vena cava.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHilum of the Kidney\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe right kidney shows typical anatomy with the renal vein superior, artery inferior, and ureter descending. The left kidney displays variation: the renal vein is inferior and subdivided, the artery is superior, and the ureter descends medially.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMuscles, Nerves and Other Vasculature\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe psoas major and iliacus muscles are visible on both sides, with key lumbar plexus nerves around them—especially on the left—including the iliohypogastric, ilioinguinal, femoral, and genitofemoral nerves. Medial to the psoas major, the left testicular artery (from the aorta) and vein (draining to the left renal vein) are seen. The right testicular vein drains directly into the IVC. A branch of the iliolumbar artery passes beneath the testicular vessels and ureter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGallbladder\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJust inferior to the liver, the gallbladder can be observed with the cystic artery moving inferiorly to meet it. The cystic duct can also be seen moving from the gallbladder, meeting the common hepatic duct moving from the liver to form the common bile duct.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erler-Zimmer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54831717712248,"sku":"EZ-MP1131","price":6264.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0507\/6087\/6201\/files\/MP1131_1.jpg?v=1758798776","url":"https:\/\/simandskills.co.uk\/products\/abdomen-vasculature","provider":"Sim \u0026 Skills","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
