Q

blood supply to stomach?

A

remember foregut organ so branches form coeliac axis T12 supply stomach:-
1 - smallest branch is left gastric artery (passes towards lesser curvature of stomach)
2 - splenic passes along superior surface of pancreas

3 - common hepatic artery passes towards liver

right gastric artery is not direct branch from coeliac axis but originates from common hepatic artery

also right + left gastro-epiploic arteries
