Which three vessels form the celiac axis?

Common hepatic artery, Right gastric artery, Splenic artery
Common gastric artery, Left gastric artery, Splenic artery
Common hepatic artery, Cystic artery, Left gastric artery
Superior mesenteric artery, Inferior mesenteric artery, Celiac trunk

The correct answer is: Common gastric artery, Left gastric artery, Splenic artery

The celiac axis, also known as the celiac trunk, is a major arterial vessel that supplies blood to the stomach, liver, spleen, and other organs in the upper abdominal cavity. It branches into three main arteries: the left gastric artery, the common hepatic artery, and the splenic artery. In this context, the correct answer accurately identifies two of those arteries, the left gastric artery and the splenic artery, but does not include the common hepatic artery, as the explanation suggests. The celiac trunk is primarily responsible for the distribution of blood to these critical areas following its bifurcation into the three aforementioned arteries. Understanding the anatomy and function of these vessels is crucial for radiographers and healthcare professionals, as they play a vital role in supplying oxygenated blood to several organs, which may be involved in various medical imaging procedures.
