Gastric inferior arteries, are two in number, and distinguished into right and left. The right, also called Gastro. hepatic, Gastrica inferior dextra, Gastro-epiploica dextra, is furnished by the hepatic artery. It descends behind the pylorus, and passes from right to left, along the great curvature of the stomach. It gives branches to the pancreas, duodenum, stomach, omentum majus, and terminates by anastomosing with the Gastro-epiploica sinistra, Gastrica sinistra seu inferior sinistra. This- the left -arises from the splenic artery. It is of considerable magnitude, and passes from left to right, along the great curvature of the stomach, distributing its branches more particularly to the stomach and omentum majus. It terminates by joining the right gastro-epiploic.
