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 ).

The common iliac artery is a large artery of the abdomen paired on each side. It originates from the aortic bifurcation at the level of the 4th lumbar vertebra . It ends in front of the sacroiliac joint , one on either side, and each bifurcates into the external and internal iliac arteries .
The external iliac artery provides the main blood supply to the legs. It passes down along the brim of the pelvis and gives off two large branches - the "inferior epigastric artery" and a "deep circumflex artery." These vessels supply blood to the muscles and skin in the lower abdominal wall.
The celiac artery is the only major artery that nourishes the abdominal digestive organs that does not have a similarly named vein. Most blood returning from the digestive organs (including from the area of distribution of the celiac artery) is diverted to the liver via the portal venous system for further processing and detoxification in the ...
Divides in hilum of kidney. Both arteries give inferior suprarenal arteries and ureteral branches. gonadal: L2: Visceral: yes: ant. Ovarian artery in females; testicular artery in males lumbar: L1-L4: Parietal: yes: post. Four on each side that supply the abdominal wall and spinal cord. The fifth pair is the lumbar branches of the iliolumbar ...
The internal iliac artery supplies the walls and viscera of the pelvis, the buttock, the reproductive organs, and the medial compartment of the thigh. The vesicular branches of the internal iliac arteries supply the bladder. [1] It is a short, thick vessel, smaller than the external iliac artery, and about 3 to 4 cm in length.
The stomach is surrounded by parasympathetic (inhibitor) and sympathetic (stimulant) plexuses (networks of blood vessels and nerves in the anterior gastric, posterior, superior and inferior, celiac and myenteric), which regulate both the secretory activity of the stomach and the motor (motion) activity of its muscles. The stomach is distensible ...
