digestive arteries Flashcards
celiac artery
comes from the aorta
splits into three branches: splenic artery, left gastric artery, hepatic artery
splenic artery
comes from the celiac artery
supplies the spleen and splits into two branches: anterior splenic artery and posterior splenic artery
left gastric artery
comes from the celiac artery
supplies the anterior (top) left stomach and contains and anastomoses with the pyloric (right gastric) artery
hepatic artery
comes from the celiac artery
supplies the liver and splits into three branches: cystic artery, gastroduodenal artery, and branches to the liver
cystic artery
comes from the hepatic artery
supplies the gallbladder
gastroduodenal artery
comes from the hepatic artery
splits into three branches: anterior pancreaticoduodenal artery, pyloric (right gastric) artery, right gastroepiploic artery
anterior pancreaticoduodenal artery
comes from the gastroduodenal artery
supplies the upper duodenum near the pylorus and contains an anastomoses with the posterior pancreaticoduodenal artery
pyloric (right gastric) artery
comes from gastroduodenal artery
supplies the anterior (top) right stomach and contains an anastomoses with the left gastric artery
right gastroepiploic artery
comes from the gastroduodenal artery
supplies the posterior (bottom) right stomach
superior mesenteric artery
comes from the aorta
supplies the intestinal branches to the jejunum and ileum and splits into four branches: middle colic artery, ileocolic artery, intestinal arteries, posterior pancreaticoduodenal artery
middle colic artery
comes from the superior mesenteric artery
supplies the descending colon toward the rectum
ileocolic artery
comes from the superior mesenteric artery
supplies the cecum
posterior pancreaticoduodenal artery
comes from the superior mesenteric artery
supplies the lower duodenum near the jejunum and contains an anastomoses with the anterior pancreaticoduodenal artery
