celiacus
Arteries follow the shortest distance, i.e., run in approximately a straight line from the maternal trunk to the organ. Thus, every artery gives of branches to the organs near it. This explains why the first branches of the aorta, as it arises from the heart, are arteries to the heart itself. This also explains the succession in which the branches separate from the trunk, a succession determined by the place of origin and location of the organs. For example, the first to branch away are arteries from the abdominal aorta to the stomach (from tr. Celiacus),Medical Coding Services will helpn in these collections.
