Figure 1:

Splanchnic blood flow (cat).

Splanchnic flow represents about 25 % of the cardiac output. Blue slices represent blood flow to various splanchnic organs. Red slices represent blood flow to the peritoneum. Parietal peritoneum blood flow (6.2±1.2 mL/min per 100 g tissue=2 %), visceral peritoneum (9.7±1.9 mL/min per 100 g tissue=3 %), and omentum (6.3±0.7 mL/min per 100 g tissue=2 %), represent together 7 % of the splanchnic flow (10) or between 1 and 2 % of the cardiac output.
