Overview
The vitelline arteries is the arterial counterpart to the vitelline veins. Like the veins, it plays an important role in the vitelline circulation of blood to and from the yolk sac. It is a branch of the dorsal aorta.
It gives rise to the celiac artery, superior mesenteric artery, and inferior mesenteric artery.[1]
