Artery Gastric Right

The right gastric artery is one of the large vessels that provides blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract. It is a branch of the celiac trunk and is located on the anterior wall of the abdominal cavity.

The right gastric artery originates from the celiac trunk, which is located in the diaphragm at the level of T10-L1. It then passes through the stomach and enters the lesser omentum, where it divides into the right and left gastric arteries.

The right gastric artery passes through the lesser omentum and enters the stomach, where it supplies the body and fundus. It then continues into the small stomach and ends at the greater curvature of the stomach.

The left gastric artery also passes through the lesser omentum, but it then passes through the greater omentum and enters the body of the pancreas, where it supplies its vessels. The left gastric artery then continues into the head of the pancreas and ends in the mesentery.

The blood supply to the organs of the gastrointestinal tract is carried out not only by the gastric arteries, but also by other vessels, such as the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries, which provide blood supply to the intestines.

Thus, the right gastric artery plays an important role in providing blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract and is an important vessel for understanding human anatomy and physiology.
