Preferred Label : superior pancreaticoduodenal artery;
Uberon definition : The superior pancreaticoduodenal artery is an artery that supplies blood to the duodenum
and pancreas. It is a branch of the gastroduodenal artery, which comes from the common
hepatic artery of the celiac trunk. The common hepatic itself becomes the proper hepatic
after giving off the gastroduodenal artery and goes on to supply the right and left
lobes of the liver. The term superior distinguishes the superior pancreaticoduodenal
artery from the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery, which a branch of the superior
mesenteric artery. These arteries, together with the pancreatic branches of the splenic
artery, form connections or anastomoses with one another, allowing blood to perfuse
the pancreas and duodenum through multiple channels. The artery splits into two branches:
the anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery supplies the anterior margins of
the duodenum and pancreas the posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery supplies
the posterior margins of these organs [WP,unvetted].;
