From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Artery: Right gastric artery
The celiac artery and its branches; the stomach has been raised and the peritoneum removed. (Right gastric artery visible at center left.)
Right gastric artery is at #2 -- the lower of the two arrows.
Latin	arteria gastrica dextra
Gray's	subject #154 604
Supplies	stomach
Source	common hepatic artery
Vein	right gastric vein

The right gastric artery (pyloric artery) arises from the common hepatic artery, above the pylorus, descends to the pyloric end of the stomach, and passes from right to left along its lesser curvature, supplying it with branches, and anastomosing with the left gastric artery.
