Proper hepatic artery

Cardiovascular ยท part of Aorta

The hepatic artery proper (also proper hepatic artery) is the artery that supplies the liver and gallbladder. It raises from the common hepatic artery, a branch of the celiac artery. The HAP accounts for 10% of hepatic blood flow and 30% of its oxygen supply, with the rest provided by the portal vein; this double blood supply makes the liver far more resilient to vascular disease than other major organs.
