Gastrocolic. Gastroepiploic arteries.
Contents of ligament that separates the greater and lesser sacs on the left?
Gastrosplenic. Short gastrics, left gastroepioplic vessels
Contents of ligament thatconnets spleen to posterior adominal wall?
Splenorenal. Splennic artery and vein, tail of pancreas
Layers of gut wall (inside to out)
Mucosa - epithelium, lamina propria, muscularis mucosa
Submucosa - meissner’s plexus
Muscularis externa - myenteric (auerbachs) plexus
