The easiest plane to see them on is the sagittal, they feed the abdominal wall. 3 pairs: superior: branches off the inferior phrenics, middle: branch off the aorta, inferior: branches off the renals. Left gastric branches superiorly, the other are lower. Which is the largest of the celiac branches. Posterior to the stomach/pancreas common hepatic is not nearly as thick. Anterior aspect of aorta, 3-4cm above bifurcation of aorta.
