The GDAgastroduodenal artery is a terminal branch of the common hepatic artery along with the proper hepatic artery.
It passes inferiorly behind the 1st part
-
right gastroepiploic artery (see article here)
- runs in the greater omentum along the greater curvature of the stomach to anastomose with the left gastroepiploic artery

superior pancreaticoduodenal artery
