Origins and pathways of the hepatic artery were investigated in 9 Japanese and 4 rhesus macaques. In one case of Japanese macaques, the liver received a double arterial supply from an accessory and ordinary hepatic arteries. The accessory hepatic artery arose from the celiac artery and supplied two right lobes and the gallbladder. In five cases of Japanese macaques and in all cases of rhesus macaques, the common hepatic artery passed behind the pylorus and the pancreas. This course corresponds to one of the two pathways of the accessory hepatic artery of the humans and chimpanzees. In remaining four cases of Japanese macaques, the course of the common hepatic artery corresponds to the pathway of the ordinary hepatic artery of the humans and chimpanzees. The celiac artery of the macaques tends to arise at a more caudal level of the aorta than in the humans and chimpanzees.
