Key Concepts

Celiac Trunk

The celiac trunk is a major branch of the abdominal aorta that supplies oxygenated blood to the foregut organs. It typically gives rise to the left gastric, splenic, and common hepatic arteries, which in turn provide blood to organs such as the stomach, liver, and pancreas.

Abdominal Aorta

The abdominal aorta is the main arterial vessel in the abdomen that distributes blood to various organs through its branches. Key branches include the celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and inferior mesenteric artery, each responsible for supplying different regions of the gastrointestinal tract based on embryological divisions.
