“Cranial ventrally division of aorta abdominalis”
What’s the specie differences when it comes to Tripus coeliacus?
In Car, Eq; The 3 main branches of a. coeliaca form this structure and originate from some poisition
In Sus: Same branches but does not originate from one point and therefore not called Tripus coeliacus.
A. coeliaca, is it short/long , unpaired/paired trunk?
It’s a short and unpaired trunk
a. lienalis is a branch of which artery?

Which has 2 own branches; - - aa. gastricae brevis
- rr. pancreatici
a. gastroepiploica sinistra of a. lienalis has two branches, which are these and what does they supply?
aa. gastricae breves
- supply parietal and visceral surface of stomach
rr. pancreatici
- Branches supplying pancreas
a. gastrica sinistra is an branch off?
Independent branch of a. coeliaca
a. gastrica sinistra differs slightly in Eq, how?
That it’s divided into 2 branches
- r. parietalis et visceralis
In Car, Eq, Sus;
Only 1 branch
- rr esophagei
What does r. parietalis et visceralis in Eq supply?
Visceral and parietal surface of the stomach
What does rr. esophagei in Eq, Car, Sus supply?
Supply abdominal part of Esophagus
Short part of esophagus that’s entering into the stomach
What’s the 3rd branch of a. coeliaca and on which side can it be found and imp for
3rd branch = a. hepatica
Found on right side
Imp for livers nutrition
Describe the continuation of a. hepatica and it’s branches
Main trunk continue on visceral surface, along Margo dorsalis hepatis of liver through Porta hepatis where it branches off according to the nb of lobes depending on specie into many branches for stomach, pancreas and duodenum.

What’s typical?
