The gastroepiploic arteries are blood vessels that supply the stomach and parts of the intestine. They are divided into two main branches: the right gastroepiploic artery, which arises from the gastroduodenal artery, and the left gastroepiploic artery, which comes from the splenic artery. These arteries run along the greater curvature of the stomach, providing essential blood flow to the surrounding tissues. These arteries play a crucial role in the vascular system of the abdomen. They help ensure that the stomach receives adequate oxygen and nutrients, which are vital for its functions, including digestion. Proper blood supply from the gastroepiploic arteries is important for maintaining the health of the stomach and adjacent organs.
