Explanation
The celiac trunk is the first major branch of the abdominal aorta and supplies blood to the foregut. The splenic artery arises from the celiac trunk and supplies blood to the spleen, as well as the stomach and pancreas. The superior mesenteric artery arises from the abdominal aorta just below the celiac trunk and supplies blood to the midgut, while the inferior mesenteric artery arises from the abdominal aorta just above the bifurcation into the common iliac arteries and supplies blood to the hindgut. The renal artery arises from the abdominal aorta just below the origin of the superior mesenteric artery and supplies blood to the kidneys.
