anastomosis

Anastomosis refers to the connection or joining of two structures in the body, such as blood vessels, intestines, or nerves. In a medical context, it often describes how two blood vessels meet and share blood flow or how different parts of the digestive system are connected. This can occur naturally within our bodies or be created surgically to improve circulation or restore function after injury or disease. Anastomosis is essential for maintaining proper body function, allowing different parts of the body to communicate and work together effectively.
