| hepatic artery proper | supplies the gallbladder via the cystic artery and the liver via the left and right hepatic arteries |
| gastroduodenal artery | branches into the right gastroepiploic artery and superior pancreaticoduodenal artery |
| right gastric artery | branches to supply the lesser curvature of the stomach inferiorly |
