Summary The vascularization of the stomach of the muskrat is provided by the celiac artery and its three branches, the splenic, the hepatic and the left gastric artery. Of these, the left gastric vessel constitutes the main blood supply to the organ. Its two terminal branches supply the body of the stomach, forming a rich vascular network for the glandular region of the organ. The other regions of the stomach, the fundus and the pyloric part are poorly vascularized.
