A member asked:
Can you tell me in the duodenum, are their differences between the ileum and jejunum in re: arrangement of arterial branches?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: While overlap and redundancy exists in the arterial supply to the gut to minimize ischemic risk, each GI segment at the local level receives much of its blood flow from a specific arrangement of arterial branches.
