The IMA is ligated (occluded) when removing an aneurysm of the abdominal aorta. The IMA normally supplies arterial blood to the sigmoid colon and rectum. Uusualy, the sigmoid colon and rectum survive such a ligation. How do they survive? discuss the normal blood supply to the entire GI tract (in chart/table form, with names of arteries and names of corresponding structures), and then what occurs after the IMA is ligated to keep the sigmoid colon and rectum alive.

Kidney stones occur when solid material blocks the flow of urine in the renal system. Although there are many causes, Ca2+ is a common component of the stone itself. If left untreated, Kidney stones can lead to renal failure. You are a Nephrologist treating a patient who has already had one kidney removed. They report that they have experienced nausea, vomiting, and swelling of the extremities (edema.) An MRI shows a kidney stone which has completely blocked the ureter of the remaining kidney. Propose a mechanism whereby the kidney stone would explain the patient’s symptoms.
