If you're thinking about clock distribution, the ileocolic, right colic, and middle colic arteries would be found at these times.
After filtration through the liver, blood drains into the inferior vena cava from the _____________ veins.
A continuous artery along the border of the large intestine formed by the anastomoses of the major branches to the large intestine from the superior mesenteric artery and inferior mesenteric artery.
