SMA, origin
of the SMA:
We covered quite
a few things.
00:06
Fundus of the
gallbladder,
the next thing you see is the pylorus
of the stomach is down there.
00:12
Then the second part
of the duodenum,
and that begins the fourth
part of the duodenum.
00:19
Second part, third part, fourth part,
so that is a duodenojejunal flexure.
00:26
So the DJ flexure
is there.
00:29
This essentially corresponds
to the pancreas.
00:34
So the head and the neck
of the pancreas.
00:37
The transverse colon, as you
come to the left side.
00:42
The hilum of the spleen, that's in
the transpyloric plane.
00:48
The splenic flexure, that's in the
transpyloric plane.
00:52
In terms of vessels, you mentioned the
portal vein, which is absolutely fine,
formed by the union of the splenic vein and the superior mesenteric vein.
01:02
It forms a portal
vein at that level.
01:05
Then you have the superior
mesenteric artery
coming off at the abdominal
aorta at that level.
