Arteries and veins around the pancreas

This is one of our most difficult models. It is a model of the pancreas showing the blood vessels around the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery. Students have a lot of trouble with it. So compare this model to the abdominal cavity vessels. Essentially you are seeing where those vessels go. I'd look at the rotating model. Also see the other pancreas model.

    Artery Structures
    • Aorta
    • Celiac Trunk
    • Common Iliac Artery
    • Comon Iliac Vein
    • Gastroduodenal artery
    • Hepatic Artery
    • Hepatic Portal System
    • Inferior Vena Cava
    • Renal Artery
    • Renal Vein
    • Splenic Artery
    • Splenic Vein
    • Superior Mesenteric Artery
    Notes:
    • This model is harder since the hepatic portal and splenic veins are blue and not purple.
    • See if you can find the splenic vein near the hilum of the spleen.
