The pancreas has a rich blood supply, with vessels originating as branches of both the coeliac artery and superior mesenteric artery. [7] The splenic artery , the largest branch of the celiac trunk, runs along the top of the pancreas, and supplies the left part of the body and the tail of the pancreas through its pancreatic branches, the ...
The duodenum receives arterial blood from two different sources. The transition between these sources demarcates the foregut from the midgut. Proximal to the second part of the duodenum (approximately at the major duodenal papilla – where the bile duct enters) the arterial supply is from the gastroduodenal artery and its branch the superior ...
The inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery is a branch of the superior mesenteric artery.This occurs opposite the upper border of the inferior part of the duodenum.As soon as it branches, it divides into anterior and posterior branches.
In human anatomy, the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is an artery which arises from the anterior surface of the abdominal aorta, just inferior to the origin of the celiac trunk, and supplies blood to the intestine from the lower part of the duodenum through two-thirds of the transverse colon, as well as the pancreas.
The artery supplies the anterior and posterior sides of the duodenum and head of pancreas, with the anterior branch supply the anterior surface and similarly for the posterior. The artery supplies the part of the duodenum proximal to the level of the major duodenal papilla of the descending part of the duodenum. [3]
The common hepatic artery is a short blood vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to the liver, pylorus of the stomach, duodenum, pancreas, and gallbladder. [citation needed] It arises from the celiac artery [1] and has the following branches: [2]
In human anatomy, the greater pancreatic artery (great pancreatic artery or arteria pancreatica magna), is the largest artery that supplies the pancreas.
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).
