Originating at the level of the T12 thoracic vertebra, the celiac trunk is a short-length artery (just over one centimeter), which is divided into three branches: the left gastric artery, the common hepatic artery and the splenic artery.
Through its branches and further branches of these, the celiac trunk supplies the stomach (in particular fundus, minor curvature, major curvature and pylorus), spleen, liver (both lobes), gall bladder, abdominal esophagus with oxygenated blood, pancreas and duodenum.
