abdominal aorta gives them at the level of L1 and L3.But what lies in front of their origin( relation in front while these branches are given) ?

nope

do u mean proximal to thier origin, or on top the arteries


i think the neck of the pancreas lies infront of the origine of SMA and the digiuno infront of the IMA
