5. Abdominal Aorta: The  abdominal aorta  is the largest artery in the abdominal cavity.   It is part of the  aorta . The abdominal aorta is a continuation of the thoracic aorta beginning at the level of the T12 vertebrae .  It is approximately 13cm long and ends at the level of the L4 vertebra . At L4, the aorta terminates by bifurcating into the  right and left common iliac arteries  that supply the lower body Azhar nazir kiani

7. Branches of Abdominal Aorta: Celiac Artery Superior Mesenteric Artery Inferior Mesenteric Artery Common iliac Artery Inferior phrenic arteries Middle suprarenal arteries Renal arteries Gonadal arteries Median sacral artery Lumbar arteries Azhar nazir kiani

8. Celiac Artery: Celiac artery  also known as the  celiac trunk . It is the first major branch of the  abdominal aorta.  It is 1.25 cm in length. There are three main divisions of the celiac artery, and each in turn has its own named branches . Left gastric artery Common hepatic artery Splenic artery Left gastric Artery supplies blood to stomach and esophagus. Common hepatic artery supplies blood to liver , pylorus of the stomach, duodenum and pancreas . Splenic artery supplies blood to spleen. Azhar nazir kiani

9. Superior Mesenteric Artery: The superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is a major artery of the abdomen.  It is usually 1 cm lower than the celiac trunk. It has 5 branches. Inferior Pancreaticoduodenal Artery intestinal arteries ileocolic artery right colic artery middle colic artery Inferior pancreticodudenal Artery supplies blood to head of the pancreas and to the ascending and inferior parts of the  duodenum. Intestinal arteries branches to ileum, branches to  jejunum. ileocolic artery supplies last part of ileum. Right colic artery to ascending colon. Middle colic artery also supplies blood to colon.

10. Inferior Mesenteric Artery: It supplies arterial blood to the organs of the hindgut. It has three branches: left colic artery sigmoid branches superior rectal artery Left colic artery supplies blood to descending colon. Sigmoid branches supplies blood to sigmoid colon. Superior rectal artery supplies Rectus. Azhar nazir kiani

11. Common iliac Artery: The abdominal aorta divides to form the " common iliac arteries " in the lower abdomen. T hese vessels  supply blood  to the pelvic organs, gluteal region, and legs . Each  common iliac artery  descends a short distance and divides into an  internal  and an  external  branch . Azhar nazir kiani

12. Inferior phrenic arteries: The  inferior phrenic arteries  are two small vessels. These supply blood to the diaphragm. They may arise separately from the front of the aorta, above the celiac  artery. Azhar nazir kiani

13. Middle suprarenal arteries These are the two small vessels. The  adrenal  glands are supplied by middle suprarenal arteries Azhar nazir kiani

14. Renal arteries: The  renal arteries  normally arise off the side of the abdominal aorta, below the superior mesenteric  artery . Renal arteries supply the kidneys with blood. Azhar nazir kiani

15. Gonadal arteries: It is also called testicular artery. It is the  branch abdominal aorta that  supplies   blood to the testes. It is a paired  artery , and supply each testis separately. Azhar nazir kiani

16. Median sacral artery: The median sacral artery  (   middle sacral artery ) is a small vessel. Its supplies blood to coccyx, lumbar vertebrae, sacrum. Azhar nazir kiani

17. Lumbar arteries: The lumbar arteries are arteries located in the lower back or  lumbar   region. They are usually four in numbers. These supplies blood to Quadratus lumborum. Azhar nazir kiani
