Celiac trunk

The video tutorial covers the arterial supply to the GI tract, focusing on the celiac trunk, superior mesenteric, and inferior mesenteric arteries. It details the celiac trunk's branches, including the left gastric, splenic, and common hepatic arteries, and their respective paths and functions. The concept of anastomosis is explained, highlighting its importance in providing collateral blood supply between the foregut and midgut arteries.

Which artery supplies the foregut organs, including the stomach and liver?

• Superior mesenteric artery

• Inferior mesenteric artery

• Celiac trunk

• Renal artery

What is the smallest branch of the celiac trunk?

• Left gastric artery

• Splenic artery

• Common hepatic artery

• Right gastric artery

The splenic artery supplies which part of the pancreas?

• Uncinate process

• Neck

• Body and tail

• Head

Which artery bifurcates into the left and right hepatic arteries?

• Hepatic artery proper

• Cystic artery

• Superior mesenteric artery

• Gastroduodenal artery

What is the significance of anastomosis in the arterial supply of the GI tract?

• It prevents blood flow to the organs.

• It allows collateral blood supply in case of blockage.

• It increases blood pressure in the arteries.

• It reduces the number of arteries needed.
