  2. Splanchnic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splanchnic

    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. 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 ...

  4. Gastrointestinal physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_physiology

    Gastrointestinal physiology is the branch of human physiology that addresses the physical function of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.The function of the GI tract is to process ingested food by mechanical and chemical means, extract nutrients and excrete waste products.

  5. Superior hypogastric plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_hypogastric_plexus

    The superior hypogastric plexus receives contributions from the two lower lumbar splanchnic nerves (L3-L4), which are branches of the chain ganglia. They also contain parasympathetic fibers which arise from pelvic splanchnic nerve (S2-S4) and ascend from inferior hypogastric plexus; it is more usual for these parasympathetic fibers to ascend to the left-handed side of the superior hypogastric ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Splanchnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splanchnology

    Splanchnology is the study of the visceral organs, i.e. digestive, urinary, reproductive and respiratory systems. [1] [2] [3] [4]The term derives from the Neo-Latin splanchno-, from the Greek σπλάγχνα, meaning "viscera".

  8. Sacral splanchnic nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacral_splanchnic_nerves

    The sacral sympathetic nerves arise from the sacral part of the sympathetic trunk, emerging anteriorly from the ganglia.They travel to their corresponding side's inferior hypogastric plexus, where the preganglionic nerve fibers synapse with the postganglionic sympathetic neurons, whose fibers ascend to the superior hypogastric plexus, the aortic plexus and the inferior mesenteric plexus, where ...

  9. 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 ...
