The three branches of the celiac a. (1) are shown in a cat: splenic a. (2), left gastric a. (3), and hepatic a. (4). The splenic a. supplies the spleen (5), gives a branch to the pancreas (6), and left gastroepiploic aa. to the stomach (7). Find the cranial mesenteric a. (8) and the caudal mesenteric a. (9) supplying the descending colon (10). Notice a renal a. supplying the kidney (11), a testicular a. (12), and phrenic and cranial abdominal branches (arrows) of the phrenicoabdominal a. (common trunk).
