| A large portion of the small intestine is infarcted. The dark red to grey infarcted bowel contrasts with the pale pink normal bowel at the bottom. Some organs such as bowel with anastomosing blood supplies, or liver with a dual blood supply, are harder to infarct. This bowel was caught in a hernia and the mesenteric blood supply was constricted by the small opening to the hernia sac. |
