coeliac artery

the anterior branch of the coeliaco-mesentery

left gastric artery

going to the ventral part of the stomach

right gastric artery

going to the dorsal side of the stomach and pancreas

hepatic artery

going to the liver and the gall bladder

anterior mesenteric artery

the posterior branch of the coeliaco mesentery

lineal artery

a branch coming from the anterior mesenteric artery followed by a duodenal branch to the duodenum, and continues posteriorly from a distance


aka splenic artery

anterior haemorrhoidal artery

a branch from the splenic artery at a distance from the duodenum and then splits into three or four smaller arteries going to the anterior portion of the large intestine

urogenital artery

supply the kidneys, flat bodies and the gonads and their ducts

lumbar artery

go to the dorsal body wall, originating from the dorsal aorta

common iliac artery

locate the small posterior mesenteric artery that goes to the posterior portion of the large intestine

epigastrico-vesical artery

it supplies branches to the muscles of the lateral ventral abdominal wall, urinary bladder and cloaca

femoral artery
