Gastroepiploic artery: The gastroepiploic artery, also known as the gastro-omental artery, is a branch of the celiac trunk territory. It arises from the splenic artery, which is one of the main branches of the celiac trunk. The gastroepiploic artery runs along the greater curvature of the stomach and supplies blood to the stomach and the greater omentum.
