High-Yield Explanation
The sho gastric aeries are variable in number. Most commonly six are present. They run in the gastrosplenic ligament to supply the lateral surface of the stomach. The blood supply of the stomach is derived from the three branches of the coeliac trunk: Left gastric, Splenic and Common hepatic aeries. The Gastroepiploic vessels run along the greater curvature of the stomach. The right is a branch of the gastroduodenal aery, which arises from the hepatic aery. The left is a branch of the splenic aery. The right gastric aery is a branch of the common hepatic aery.
