The celiac trunk is a major artery that arises from the abdominal aorta and supplies blood to the organs of the upper abdomen. It typically branches into three main arteries: the left gastric artery, which supplies blood to the stomach; the splenic artery, which supplies blood to the spleen, pancreas, and stomach; and the common hepatic artery, which supplies blood to the liver, gallbladder, stomach, and pancreas.
