i got a q in nbme form 1.
it asked ,if sup. and inf. mesenteric blood vessels were occluded which organ would be most effected
ascending colon,hepatic flexure,tranolon,splenic flexure ,descending colon
for ur q i think it is ileum b/c it is farthest away from either collaterals of celiac artery or inf. mesenteric
