For example,the small intestines are supplied by the superior mesentericartery (Pig. Ill), which functions as the feeder to these por-tions, the vessel giving off lateral branches to feed the vari-ous portions, the vessels being given off at regular intervals, 276 ARTERIAL Fl.EDERS TO SMALL INTESTINES. commencing with the duodenum. The transverse and ascend-ing portions of the colon and ccecum are supplied by thecolica media (11), colica dextra (14), and ilio-colica (15), givenoff from the opposite side of the vessel; while the descendingcolon and rectum are supplied by the inferior mesentericartery (Fig. 112, 9), the superior hemorrhoidal (13) descendingas low as the middle of the sacrum, where it divides into two
