L'artère splénique(ou «artère liénale») irrigue non seulement la rate mais aussi le pancréas et une partie de l'estomac. Branche volumineuse du tronc cœliaque, elle a une longueur variable avec un trajet beaucoup plus sinueux que son homologue veineux. Exceptionnellement, l'artère splénique peut naître de l'artère mésentérique supérieure ou directement de l'aorte abdominale. Essentiellement rétropancréatique, elle vient croiser le bord supérieur du pancréas au niveau de la queue du pancréas et vient se terminer dans l'épiploon pancréatico-splénique avec un mode de division variable. 2, record 2, French, - art%C3%A8re%20li%C3%A9nale

The suspensory muscle of duodenum or ligament of Treitz (named after Václav Treitz) connects the duodenum of the small intestines to the diaphragm. It contains a slender band of skeletal muscle from the diaphragm and a fibromuscular band of smooth muscle from the horizontal and ascending parts of the duodenum. When it contracts, the suspensory muscle of the duodenum wides the angle of the duodenojejunal flexure, allowing movement of the intestinal contents. 1, record 6, English, - suspensory%20muscle%20of%20duodenum
