Superior pancreaticoduodenal artery

The superior pancreaticoduodenal artery ( " upper pancreatic duodenal artery " ) - in animals as pancreaticoduodenal artery cranial called ( " front pancreatic duodenal artery " ) - is an artery of the abdominal cavity.

A. The superior pancreaticoduodenal arises from the stomach small intestine artery ( gastroduodenal artery ), which in turn is a branch of the common hepatic artery (arteria hepatica communis). She shares on the pancreas in a front and rear road (A. superior pancreaticoduodenal anterior and posterior) and supplies the duodenum and pancreas. A. The superior pancreaticoduodenal anastomoses with its two branches with the branches of the same lower artery (arteria pancreaticoduodenal inferior) and thus forms a connecting double vascular loop, the " Rio Branco arcade ".
