Course
The middle colic artery passes in the layers of the transverse mesocolon to the transverse colon and divides into right and left branches
- right branch supplies the right portion of the transverse colon and anastomoses at the hepatic flexure with the ascending branch of the right colic artery
- left branch supplies the left portion of the transverse colon and anastomoses at the splenic flexure with the left colic artery of the inferior mesenteric artery
