Arteries of the pancreas, duodenum and spleen

This tutorial explores the arterial pathways supplying the pancreas, duodenum, and spleen. It covers the anatomy of these organs, detailing their parts and relationships. The video explains the arterial supply from the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery, highlighting key arteries like the splenic and pancreaticoduodenal arteries. It also discusses the clinical significance of splenic artery aneurysms. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the arterial supply to these organs.
