Aeria pancreatic magna is a branch of which aery ?
Ans. is 'd' i.e., Splenic Branches of coeliac trunkThe coeliac trunk is only about 1.25 cm long and it ends by divided into its three terminal branches :?1) Left gastric aery :- It is the smallest branch of coeliac trunk. It ends by anastomosing with right gastric aery. It gives off :a) Two or three esophageal branches.b) Number of gastric branches.2) Common hepatic aery :- It runs to the right behind lesser sac and enters the free right border of lesser omentum and then run upwards as proper hepatic aery, in front of poal vein and to the left of bile duct. After reaching the poa hepatis it terminates by dividing into right and left hepatic branches. It gives of following branches :a) Gastroduodenal aery :- It terminates by dividing into right gastroepiploic aery and superior pancreaticoduodenal aery.b) Right gastric aery.c) Cystic aery :- It is a branch of right hepatic aery.3) Splenic aery :- It is the largest branch of coeliac trunk. It runs horizontally to the left along upper border of pancreas and has touous course. It crosses left suprarenal gland and left kidney to enter the linorenal ligament through which it reaches the hilum of spleen where it divides into 5-7 splenic (hilar) branches. It gives off :a) Numerous pancreatic brnaches :- These supply body and tail of pancreas. One of the pancreatic branches is large and is called aeria pancreatic magna. Another large branch is called aeria caudae pancreatis.b) Sho gastric anteries :- Run in gastrosplenic ligament and supply the fundus of stomach.c) Left gastroepiploic aery :- It anastomoses with right gastroepiploic aery and supplies stomach and greater omentum.d) Posterior gastric aery :- It is an inconsistent branch and supplies posterior body and fundus of stomach.
