Artery of the Rectum Caudal

The human body has many important blood vessels that are responsible for the normal functioning of all organs and systems. One of these arteries is the arena of the rectum, which is called caudal. This artery feeds the lower parts of the rectum and provides it with oxygen. In this article we will look at what the caudal rectal artery is, its functions and the causes of problems.

The rectal artery, or caudal artery (a. Rectalis Caudalis), is one of two large vessels that enters the rectal cavity through its base. It originates from the sacral plexus and transmits blood to the lower parts of the rectum and sigmoid colon. There are two types of caudal arteries of the rectum: anterior and posterior. The anterior caudal artery enters through the base of the rectum. The posterior caudal artery can enter either through the base of the intestine or through the intestinal lumen. With some diseases of the rectum - for example, with anal fissures and fistulas - there may be purulent accumulations under the skin on the lower surface of the abdomen of the levator ani muscle, and sometimes on the perineum. After the abscess is eliminated, the skin shrinks. In this case, in girls, the inner corner of the wound protrudes between the leaves of the hymenal arch and the scar described below extends to the labia, shortening it and everting the penis and into the vestibule of the vagina.
