Option B

Middle colic arteries is the most likely additional  source of blood to the descending colon

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The middle colic artery is a section of the superior mesenteric artery. Middle Colic provides the transverse colon, has a branch that runs to the right colon and branch that persists to the left colon that catches up with the left colic artery and proceeds as the marginal artery to provide the descending colon.

The left gastroepiploic artery is one of the sections of the splenic artery. Sigmoid- branch off IMA so barred in this case Splenic- proceeds of the celiac trunk, branches accumulation spleen & pancreas Superior Rectal- a sequence of IMA not possible to participate in this case

The middle colic artery can supply the descending colon in case the inferior mesenteric artery is blocked.

Explanation:

In the intestines, the inferior mesentery artery supplies one-third portion of the transverse, descending and sigmoid colon on the left side.

The superior mesentery artery is divided into many branches like the middle colic artery. The middle colic artery after supplying the transverse colon divides into the left and right branches.

The left branch of the middle colic artery anastomoses (of the SMA) with the left colic artery (of the IMA) and supplies the descending colon. Hence, in case the origin of the IMA is blocked, the middle colic artery of the SMA can still supply to the descending colon.

Moreover, the patient does not have intestinal angina which usually occurs when the SMA is blocked. Since the SMA is not blocked, its branch middle colic artery can supply the descending colon.

The left gastroepiploic and splenic artery supplies the spleen, superior rectal artery supplies the rectal region.

What are three ways body systems work together to maintain homeostasis?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Each organ system performs specific functions for the body, and each organ system is typically studied independently. However, the organ systems also work together to help the body maintain homeostasis.

For example, the cardiovascular, urinary, and lymphatic systems all help the body control water balance. The cardiovascular and lymphatic systems transport fluids throughout the body and help sense both solute and water levels and regulate pressure. If the water level gets too high, the urinary system produces more dilute urine (urine with a higher water content) to help eliminate the excess water. If the water level gets too low, more concentrated urine is produced so that water is conserved. The digestive system also plays a role with variable water absorption. Water can be lost through the integumentary and respiratory systems, but that loss is not directly involved in maintaining body fluids and is usually associated with other homeostatic mechanisms.

Similarly, the cardiovascular, integumentary, respiratory, and muscular systems work together to help the body maintain a stable internal temperature. If body temperature rises, blood vessels in the skin dilate, allowing more blood to flow near the skin’s surface. This allows heat to dissipate through the skin and into the surrounding air. The skin may also produce sweat if the body gets too hot; when the sweat evaporates, it helps to cool the body. Rapid breathing can also help the body eliminate excess heat. Together, these responses to increased body temperature explain why you sweat, pant, and become red in the face when you exercise hard. (Heavy breathing during exercise is also one way the body gets more oxygen to your muscles, and gets rid of the extra carbon dioxide produced by the muscles.)
