Study Notes
Principal Arteries of Anterolateral Abdominal Wall
- Musculophrenic artery originates from the internal thoracic artery and supplies the superior rectus abdominis and superior part of the anterolateral abdominal wall.
- The abdominal aorta provides arterial supply beyond the ribs to the abdominal wall between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis.
- The external iliac artery runs deep to the rectus abdominis and supplies the inferior rectus abdominis and medial part of the anterolateral abdominal wall.
- The arterial supply to the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen includes the celiac trunk, left gastric, splenic, and hepatic arteries.
- The celiac trunk bifurcates into the splenic and common hepatic arteries and supplies the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, liver, and pancreas.
- The left gastric artery ascends retroperitoneally to the esophageal hiatus and then descends along the lesser curvature to anastomose with the right gastric artery.
- The splenic artery supplies the body of the pancreas, spleen, and greater curvature of the stomach, with the posterior gastric branch providing supply to the posterior wall and fundus of the stomach.
- The hepatic artery runs along the lesser curvature of the stomach and supplies the liver, gallbladder, stomach, pancreas, and duodenum.
- The superior mesenteric artery supplies the stomach, pancreas, first part of the duodenum, and distal part of the bile duct.
- The arterial supply to the intestines includes the superior mesenteric artery, which supplies the jejunum, ileum, and ascending colon.
- The inferior mesenteric artery supplies the descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum.
- The autonomic innervation of abdominal viscera involves splanchnic nerves originating from different levels of the sympathetic trunk to serve the abdominopelvic cavity.
