up to 10 branches of splenic artery, including 1. dorsal pancreatic artery 2. inferior pancreatic artery 3. great pancreatic artery
34
T/F: the duodenum must be removed when the pancreatic head is resected

all except for the anterosuperior part of the head
43
the duct of Santorini drains which part of the pancreas
anterosuperior part of head

carcinoma of the neck and body of the pancreas usually manifests with:
portal or IVC obstruction
48
the small intestine extends from:
pylorus to ileocecal valve
49

70
process by which penetrating injuries of the small intestine self-heal
mucosal plugging
71
the part of the small intestine most prone to injury is the:
