Which of these is a branch of inferior mesenteric aery ?
Correct Answer: Left colic aery
Description: the inferior mesenteric aery, often abbreted as IMA, is the third main branch of the abdominal aoa and arises at the level of L3, supplying the large intestine from the left colic flexure to the upper pa of the rectum, which includes the descending colon, the sigmoid colon, and pa of the rectum. Proximally, its territory of distribution overlaps with the middle colic aery, and therefore the superior mesenteric aery. The SMA and IMA anastomose the marginal aery of the colon. The territory of distribution of the IMA is more or less equivalent to the embryonic hindgut. ref - eahslab.com
