    Splanchnic organs - including the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, pancreas, spleen, liver, [2] and may also include the kidney. [3] Splanchnic nerves; Splanchnic mesoderm; Splanchnic circulation – the circulation of the gastrointestinal tract originating at the celiac trunk, the superior mesenteric artery and the inferior ...

  3. Splanchnic nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splanchnic_nerves

    The splanchnic nerves are paired visceral nerves (nerves that contribute to the innervation of the internal organs), carrying fibers of the autonomic nervous system ...

  4. Thoracic splanchnic nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_splanchnic_nerves

    The lesser splanchnic nerve travels inferiorly, lateral to the greater splanchnic nerve. Its fibers synapse with their postganglionic counterparts in the superior mesenteric ganglion, or in the aorticorenal ganglion. [4] The lesser splanchnic nerve modulates the activity of the enteric nervous system of the midgut. Least splanchnic nerve [1] [2 ...

  5. Hepatic portal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatic_portal_system

    In human anatomy, the hepatic portal system or portal venous system is the system of veins comprising the portal vein and its tributaries. The other portal venous system in the body is the hypophyseal portal system. [1]

  6. Local blood flow regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_blood_flow_regulation

    Splanchnic circulation, which supplies blood to several gastrointestinal organs (liver, gallbladder, pancreas, intestines) and the spleen, is influenced by gastrointestinal hormones and metabolites, such as vasodilatory kinins, released from the cells lining the intestines, bile acids from the gallbladder, and by products of digestion. [4]

  7. Cardiopulmonary nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiopulmonary_nerves

    Cardiopulmonary nerves are splanchnic nerves that are postsynaptic and sympathetic. [1] They originate in cervical and upper thoracic ganglia [1] and innervate the thoracic cavity. [1] All major sympathetic cardiopulmonary nerves arise from the stellate ganglia and the caudal halves of the cervical sympathetic trunks below the level of the ...

  8. Splanchnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splanchnology

    In anatomy, a viscus is an internal organ, and viscera is the plural form. Organs consist of different tissues, one or more of which prevail and determine its specific structure and function. Functionally related organs often cooperate to form whole organ systems. Viscera are the soft organs of the body.

  9. Cardiovascular physiology - Wikipedia

    coronary circulation: 5%: high: under-perfused: Minimal ability to use anaerobic respiration. Blood flow through the left coronary artery is at a maximum during diastole (in contrast to the rest of systemic circulation, which has a maximum blood flow during systole.) splanchnic circulation: 15%: low: Flow increases during digestion. hepatic ...
