what are the major branches of the abdominal aorta and the organs they supply?

['3 single anterior visceral branches (coeliac, superior mesenteric artery, inferior mesenteric artery)', '3 paired lateral visceral branches (suprarenal, renal, gonadal)', '5 paired lateral abdominal wall branches (inferior phrenic and four lumbar)']

The abdomen contains all the digestive organs, including the stomach, small and large intestines, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. These organs are held together loosely by connecting tissues (mesentery) that allow them to expand and to slide against each other. The abdomen also contains the kidneys and spleen.

Anatomy and Function of the Coronary Arteries. Coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle. Like all other tissues in the body, the heart muscle needs oxygen-rich blood to function. Also, oxygen-depleted blood must be carried away.

A blood vessel is a tube that carries blood. Oxygen rich blood leaves the left side of the heart and enters the aorta. The aorta branches into arteries, which eventually branch into smaller arterioles. Arterioles carry blood and oxygen into the smallest blood vessels, the capillaries.

The aorta is an artery that carries blood away from the heart. The vena cava is a vein that carries blood to the heart.

The largest artery is the aorta, the main high-pressure pipeline connected to the heart's left ventricle. The aorta branches into a network of smaller arteries that extend throughout the body. The arteries' smaller branches are called arterioles and capillaries.

Aortic dissection and aortic aneurysm An aortic aneurysm is an abnormal bulge that occurs in the wall of the major blood vessel (aorta) that carries blood from your heart to your body. Aortic aneurysms can occur anywhere in your aorta and may be tube-shaped (fusiform) or round (saccular).

The arch's downward portion, called the descending aorta, is connected to a network of arteries that supplies most of the body with oxygen-rich blood. The upward part of the arch, which is the section closest to the heart, is called the ascending aorta. The part of the aorta in the chest is called the thoracic aorta.

The Anatomy of the Aorta The aorta is the largest artery in the body. It carries oxygen-filled blood from the heart to different organs in the body. The aorta starts at the heart's left ventricle, arches upwards towards the neck, then curves back downward, extending into the abdomen.

The gastroepiploic arteries give off gastric and epiploic (a.k.a. omental) branches that supply the greater curvature of the stomach and the greater omentum. This article will discuss the anatomy and function of the gastroepiploic arteries. Arteries which supply the stomach, liver and spleen.

The branches of the abdominal aorta: Paired branches: the middle adrenal, renal, gonadal, inferior phrenic, and lumbar arteries. Unpaired branches: the coeliac, superior mesenteric, inferior mesenteric, and median sacral arteries. Terminal branches: the common iliac arteries.

The liver is connected to two large blood vessels, the hepatic artery and the portal vein. The hepatic artery carries blood from the aorta to the liver, whereas the portal vein carries blood containing the digested nutrients from the entire gastrointestinal tract, and also from the spleen and pancreas to the liver.

['Large red vessel (the aorta) - Large artery that carries blood from of the left ventricle to the arteries of the body.', 'Large blue vessel (vena cava) _(includes the superior and inferior vena cava) - _Large vein that empties blood into the right atrium of the heart.']

The aorta is the largest artery because it connects directly to the heart and is the starting point for blood transport to the entire body.

Picture of the Aorta. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. The aorta begins at the top of the left ventricle, the heart's muscular pumping chamber. The heart pumps blood from the left ventricle into the aorta through the aortic valve.

Structure and Function. The celiac artery gives rise to three major branches, including the left gastric, splenic, and common hepatic arteries. Collectively, these major branches of the celiac artery supply the stomach, spleen, liver, gallbladder, abdominal esophagus, pancreas, and duodenum.
