Artery Pancreatic Caudal

The pancreatic caudal artery (lat. a. caudae pancreatis, pna) is one of the branches of the celiac trunk that supplies blood to the tail of the pancreas.

It departs from the left surface of the celiac trunk, goes posteriorly and downward, bending around the lower edge of the pancreas. In the caudal part of the gland, the artery divides into 2 branches, which anastomose with the branches of the splenic artery.

The pancreatic caudal artery supplies the tail of the pancreas and also takes part in the blood supply to the spleen.

The pancreatic artery (apd), or pancreatic caudal artery (aca caudae pancreaticis), is a branch of the superior mesenteric artery that supplies blood to the pancreas and its vessels. The pancreatic artery is one of the branches of the superior mesentery, formed from the aoa. The arteries of the pancreas begin from the iliac flexure of the superior mesenteric artery at the level of the first lumbar vertebra. There are anterior and posterior branches of the Apodunaian arcade. They are directed laterally along the anterior surface of the anterior abdominal wall in front of the aorta. At a distance of 30–
