The arises from the
Superior Mesenteric just below the
Pancreas and, passing downward and forward between the layers of the
Transverse Mesocolon , divides into two branches, right and left; the former anastomoses with the
Right Colic ; the latter with the
Left Colic , a branch of the
Inferior Mesenteric .
The arches thus formed are placed about two fingers’ breadth from the
Transverse Colon , to which they distribute branches.
