AB The  foregut  consists  of  the  distal  end  of  the  esophagus,  the  stomach,  and  a  portion  of  the  duodenum.  In  addition,  the  pancreas,  liver,  and  gallbladder  form  embryologically  from  the  foregut  and  thus  also  are  included  in  this  discussion.  The  celiac  trunk  is  the  principal  (but  not  exclusive)  artery  supplying  the  foregut.  The  celiac  trunk  arises  from  the  abdominal  aorta.
