Anterior gastric branches of anterior vagal trunk

Nerve: Anterior gastric branches of anterior vagal trunk
Latin	rami gastrici anteriores trunci vagalis anterioris
From	anterior vagal trunk
To	celiac branches of vagus nerve

The anterior gastric branches of anterior vagal trunk are branches of the anterior vagal trunk which supply the stomach.^[1]

One long branch of it runs from the lesser curvature or parallel to it in lesser omentum as far as the pyloric antrum to fan out into branches in a way like the digits of a crow's foot to supply the pyloric antrum and the anterior wall of pyloric canal.
