Following a traumatic injury to the thorax, a patient experiences impaired venous drainage from the left posterior intercostal spaces. Which of the following veins would most likely be responsible for providing collateral venous return?

A surgeon is planning to perform a complex abdominal surgery requiring extensive mobilization of the small intestine. Damage to which of the following arteries would most likely compromise the blood supply to a significant portion of the jejunum and ileum?
