Inferior to the renal arteries
Inferior mesenteric
Just inferior to the celiac trunk
Superior mesenteric artery
Lateral branches off the aorta at the level of the interspace between the 1st and 2nd vertebrae

Dorsalis pedis
Feeds the liver blood
Portal vein
Large vein that collects all the venous blood from the stomach, intestines, spleen, and pancreas and delivers it to the liver
Portal vein
Exits the liver and empties into the vena cava
Hepatic vein
How many blood supplies does the liver have?
