Schematic image of the blood supply to the human stomach: left and right gastric artery, left and right gastroepiploic artery and short gastric arteries [15] The lesser curvature of the human stomach is supplied by the right gastric artery inferiorly and the left gastric artery superiorly, which also supplies the cardiac region.

The human digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract plus the accessory organs of digestion (the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder). Digestion involves the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller components, until they can be absorbed and assimilated into the body. The process of digestion has three ...
Right gastric artery. The celiac artery and its branches; the stomach has been raised and the peritoneum removed. (Right gastric artery visible at center left.) Right gastric artery is at #2 -- the lower of the two arrows. The right gastric artery usually arises from the proper hepatic artery. It descends to the pyloric end of the stomach ...
Upper and lower human gastrointestinal tract. The esophagus (American English) oesophagus (British English) or œsophagus (archaic spelling) (see spelling difference) all / iː ˈ s ɒ f ə ɡ ə s, ɪ-/; [1] pl.: ((o)e)(œ)sophagi or ((o)e)(œ)sophaguses), colloquially known also as the food pipe, food tube, or gullet, is an organ in vertebrates through which food passes, aided by peristaltic ...
Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] In anatomy, the gastroduodenal artery is a small blood vessel in the abdomen. It supplies blood directly to the pylorus (distal part of the stomach) and proximal part of the duodenum. It also indirectly supplies the pancreatic head (via the anterior and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries).
FMA. 14750. Anatomical terminology. [ edit on Wikidata] In human anatomy, the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) is the third main branch of the abdominal aorta and arises at the level of L3, supplying the large intestine from the distal transverse colon to the upper part of the anal canal. The regions supplied by the IMA are the descending colon ...
In human anatomy, the left gastric artery arises from the celiac artery and runs along [1] the superior portion of [citation needed] the lesser curvature of the stomach before anastomosing with the right gastric artery (which runs right to left [citation needed]). It also issues esophageal branches [1] that supply lower esophagus and ascend ...
