Question

Supra oesophagal blood vessel is located on

• A. Above the oesophagus
• B. Above the stomach
• C. Both sides of oesophagus
• D. Under the intestine

Answer 1

The correct option is B Above the stomach

Supra- oesophagal blood vessel is the shortest longitudinal vessel extending from 9th to 13th segment situated above the stomach. It receives blood from the lateral oesophageal by two pairs of anterior loops that encircle the stomach in the 10th and 11th segments. It sends its collected blood by the latero-oesophageal hearts in segments 12th and 13th to the ventral vessel.

So, the correct option is 'Above the stomach'.
