Artery: Short gastric arteries

The celiac artery and its branches; the stomach has been raised and the peritoneum removed. (Short gastric visible at center right.)
Latin	arteriae gastricae breves
Gray's	subject #154 606
Supplies	Greater curvature of the stomach

The short gastric arteries consist of from five to seven small branches, which arise from the end of the splenic artery, and from its terminal divisions.

They pass from left to right, between the layers of the gastrolienal ligament, and are distributed to the greater curvature of the stomach, anastomosing with branches of the left gastric and left gastroepiploic arteries.

Blood supply to the stomach: left and right gastric artery, left and right gastro-omental artery and short gastric artery.^[1]
