Celiac (Coeliac)

Celiac (Coeliac) is a term used in medicine to describe the anatomical structures related to the abdominal cavity. The abdominal cavity is the part of the body that contains internal organs such as the stomach, intestines, liver, spleen and others.

One of the most important elements related to the celiac region is the celiac trunk (coeliac trunk). The celiac trunk is a branch of the abdominal aorta that arises from the abdominal aorta at the level of the XII thoracic vertebra. This trunk is responsible for supplying blood to several internal organs, including the stomach, spleen, liver and gallbladder.

As already mentioned, the celiac trunk plays an important role in providing blood supply to some internal organs. It is divided into three main branches: the left gastric artery, the splenic artery and the common hepatic artery. Each of these branches provides blood supply to the corresponding organs, making the celiac trunk one of the most important elements of the anatomy of the abdominal cavity.

Despite the fact that the celiac trunk is an important element of the anatomy, it can sometimes become the target of disease. For example, occlusion (blockage) of the celiac trunk can lead to ischemia (impaired blood supply) to the internal organs that it supplies with blood. This can lead to serious consequences for human health.

In conclusion, the celiac trunk is an important element of abdominal anatomy, which is responsible for the blood supply to several internal organs. Despite its importance, it can sometimes become the target of a disease that requires medical intervention to prevent serious complications.



Celiac is an adjective meaning "part of or pertaining to the abdominal cavity."

The celiac trunk is a branch of the abdominal aorta that supplies blood to the stomach, spleen, liver and gallbladder. The celiac trunk departs from the aorta at the level of the XII thoracic and I lumbar vertebrae and is divided into the left gastric artery, the common hepatic artery and the splenic artery. These arteries carry oxygenated blood to the abdominal organs, ensuring their normal functioning.

Thus, the term "celiac" is used to describe structures located in or associated with the abdominal cavity. The celiac trunk is an important artery of the abdominal aorta, providing blood supply to the internal organs of the abdominal cavity.



The celiac trunk, also known as the gastroepiploic trunk, is one of the largest vessels that supplies blood to the abdominal organs and lower chest. The main share of blood entering the celiac vessel is received by the digestive organs of the abdominal cavity (stomach, intestines, liver), as well as the spleen, bile and pancreatic ducts. Although today the celiac vessels are most often operated upon during abdominal operations related to oncology, they can also be innervated and eliminated in case of vascular insufficiency (ischemia of the abdominal organs).

The celiac or Coeliaхic aoax is a branch of the aoax, which is formed after the fusion of the lumbar arteries and is the main arterial branch of the abdominal cavity in humans. It is directed down and to the left towards the womb. Its branches, which can vary significantly from patient to patient, extend throughout the entire uterus, including the rectum and lower gastrointestinal tract. There are four main branches of the celiac trunk (the branch of the left gastric artery (LCA), the first branch of the celiac artery (CA I), the second branch of the celiac artery (CA II) and the terminal branch of the celiac tract (GB), although
