The greater pancreatic artery, also known as the ~~pancreatic~~pancreatica magna artery, is a branch of the splenic artery that supplies the pancreatic tail and body. It arises approximately two thirds the way along the splenic artery and descends a short distance to run along the posterior margin of the pancreas or within the substance of the pancreas itself. It usually anastomoses with branches of the transverse pancreatic artery.
