The celiac artery is an essential source of blood, since the interconnections with the other major arteries of the gut are not sufficient to sustain adequate perfusion. Thus it cannot be safely ligated in a living person, and obstruction of the celiac artery will lead to necrosis of the structures it supplies. [citation needed]
In medicine, the median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS, also known as celiac artery compression syndrome, celiac axis syndrome, celiac trunk compression syndrome or Dunbar syndrome) is a rare [1] condition characterized by abdominal pain attributed to compression of the celiac artery and the celiac ganglia by the median arcuate ligament.

The gastroduodenal artery most commonly originates from the common hepatic artery, which is a branch of the celiac trunk. Occasionally, it may arise from the proper hepatic artery or from the right or left hepatic arteries, but these are less common anatomical variations.
The common hepatic artery is a short blood vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to the liver, pylorus of the stomach, duodenum, pancreas, and gallbladder. [ citation needed ] It arises from the celiac artery [ 1 ] and has the following branches: [ 2 ]
It is a branch of the gastroduodenal artery, which most commonly arises from the common hepatic artery of the celiac trunk, although there are numerous variations of the origin of the gastroduodenal artery. [1] The pancreaticoduodenal artery divides into two branches as it descends, an anterior and posterior branch.
In human anatomy, the left gastric artery arises from the celiac artery and runs along [1] the superior portion of [citation needed] the lesser curvature of the stomach before anastomosing with the right gastric artery (which runs right to left [citation needed]).
The short gastric arteries are 5-7 small branches of the splenic artery [1] that pass along part of the greater curvature of the stomach [2] from left to right between the layers of the gastrosplenic ligament, and are distributed to the greater curvature of the stomach.
