  2. Suprarenal plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suprarenal_plexus

    The suprarenal plexus is formed by branches from the celiac plexus, from the celiac ganglion, and from the phrenic and greater splanchnic nerves, a ganglion being formed at the point of junction with the latter nerve.

  3. Celiac ganglia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celiac_ganglia

    The celiac ganglion is part of the sympathetic prevertebral chain possessing a great variety of specific receptors and neurotransmitters such as catecholamines, neuropeptides, and nitric oxide and constitutes a modulation center in the pathway of the afferent and efferent fibers between the central nervous system and the ovary.

  4. Renal plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_plexus

    The renal plexus is a complex network of nerves formed by filaments from the celiac ganglia and plexus, aorticorenal ganglia, lower thoracic splanchnic nerves and first lumbar splanchnic nerve and aortic plexus. [1] The nerves from these sources, fifteen or twenty in number, have a few ganglia developed upon them.

  5. Adrenal gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenal_gland

    Venous blood is drained from the glands by the suprarenal veins, usually one for each gland: [8] The right suprarenal vein drains into the inferior vena cava. The left suprarenal vein drains into the left renal vein or the left inferior phrenic vein. The central adrenomedullary vein, in the adrenal medulla, is an unusual type of blood vessel.

  6. Celiac plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celiac_plexus

    The plexus is formed in part by the greater and lesser splanchnic nerves of both sides, and fibers from the anterior and posterior vagal trunks. The celiac plexus proper consists of the celiac ganglia with a network of interconnecting fibers. The aorticorenal ganglia are often considered to be part of the celiac ganglia, and thus, part of the ...

  7. Adrenal gland disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenal_gland_disorder

    Adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency or exogenous glucocorticoid or opioid medication suppression of adrenocorticotropic hormone can cause adrenal insufficiency, as can primary adrenal disorders. Unintentional weight loss , anorexia , postural hypotension , extreme exhaustion, muscle and abdominal pain , and hyponatraemia are characteristic ...

  8. Nerve compression syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_compression_syndrome

    Nerve compression syndrome, or compression neuropathy, or nerve entrapment syndrome, is a medical condition caused by chronic, direct pressure on a peripheral nerve. [1] It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve , though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc , for example).

  9. Ganglion impar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganglion_impar

    The indications for ganglion impar blockade are based on the anatomical location of pain and include various conditions such as perineal pain (with or without malignancy), rectal/anal pain (proctitis), distal urethral pain, vulvodynia, scrotal pain, female pelvic/vaginal pain (distal 1/3), sympathetically-maintained pain (e.g., Complex Regional ...
