4- right gastric artery which is a branch of the common hepatic artery - supplies the lesser curvature.

5- right gastro epiploic artery which is a branch of the gastro duodenal artery which is again a branch of the common hepatic artery- supplies the greater curvature

The branches of the COELIAC TRUNK are :

1-common hepatic artery

2-left gastric artery

3-splenic artery

--------------------------------------

The branches of splenic artery are:

1-short gastric branches

2-left gastro epiploic artery

2-right gastric artery

3-gastroduodenal artery

-------------------------------------

The branches of the gastroduodenal artery are :

2-superior pancreatico duodenal artery
