PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The common hepatic artery is a short blood vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to the liver, pylorus of the stomach, duodenum, pancreas, and gallbladder. Branches of the celiac artery-stomach in situ. (Hepatic artery is visible at upper left.)

Detailed explanation-2: -The liver receives a blood supply from two sources. The first is the hepatic artery which delivers oxygenated blood from the general circulation. The second is the hepatic portal vein delivering deoxygenated blood from the small intestine containing nutrients.

Detailed explanation-3: -The common hepatic artery is an artery that branches off from the celiac trunk and supplies several abdominal organs, including the pancreas, stomach, and liver. It’s also the only artery that supplies the liver.

Detailed explanation-4: -The liver has two blood supplies, the hepatic artery and the portal vein. The hepatic artery provides oxygen and nutrition, while the portal vein delivers substances absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract for metabolic conversion and/or removal.
