The Pattern of Arrangements and Distributions of the Superior Mesenteric Artery in a Nigerian Population

This study was to ascertain the pattern of arrangements and distributions of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in a Nigerian population. Seventy-five cadavers certified as Nigerians were obtained from the dissecting room of the Department of Anatomy, University of Calabar after ethical approval f...
