Pancreatic Arteries
The pancreatic arteries are blood vessels that supply oxygenated blood to the pancreas, an essential organ involved in digestion and blood sugar regulation. These arteries branch off from the splenic artery and include the dorsal pancreatic artery and the great pancreatic artery, ensuring that the pancreas receives adequate blood flow for its functions.
These arteries play a crucial role in delivering nutrients and oxygen to the pancreatic tissues. Proper blood supply is vital for the pancreas to produce digestive enzymes and hormones like insulin, which helps regulate blood sugar levels in the body.
