Anatomy Course Begins at the hilum of the spleen. It follows a tortuous course along the upper margin of the pancreas and travelling along the posterior abdominal wall, until it reaches the superior mesenteric vein, which it joins with to form the portal vein. Drain Drains blood from the spleen. Interested in taking our award-winning

Anatomy Course Largest branch of the celiac trunk of the abdominal aorta. It travels laterally from the celiac trunk within the splenorenal ligament, taking a twisted course along the superior border of the pancreas, travelling posterior to the stomach. It divides into many small branches and enters the spleen at the hilum. Supply Supplies the

Anatomy In development, the testes bulge/bubble down and out of the abdomen (to escape to a lower temperature), through a passage in the abdominal wall (the inguinal canal) bringing with them layers and structures (abnormal bulging is called herniation). The Spermatic Cord reflects this abdominal origin and connects the testis to the abdomen; its fascias

Clinical Common skin conditions among adolescents include acne, atopic dermatitis, and herpes. Acne affects mainly the face, upper chest, and back (the areas of the skin with the densest concentration of sebaceous glands). Acne affects approximately 80%-90% of teenagers, usually the result of increases in testosterone during puberty (in both genders). Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is

Insertion: Middle part of the posterior surface of the calcaneus by the tendo calcaneus (Achilles tendon). Key Relations: -One of the three muscles of the

Anatomy Between stomach and colon (pyloric sphincter to ileocecal valve), comprising duodenum, jejunum and ileum, convoluted coils occupying much of abdomen/pelvis, framed at sides and above by colon, c. 23′ long in adult), attached to posterior abdominal wall by fan-shaped mesentery (invaginated peritoneum, containing lymph nodes and vessels) other than duodenum (mostly retroperitoneal). Supplied by
