    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiovascular_physiology

    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 ...

  4. 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]

  5. 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 ...

  6. Portal venous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_venous_system

    The human hepatic portal system delivers about three-fourths of the blood going to the liver.The final common pathway for transport of venous blood from spleen, pancreas, gallbladder and the abdominal portion of the gastrointestinal tract [2] (with the exception of the inferior part of the anal canal and sigmoid colon) is through the hepatic portal vein.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Splenic vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splenic_vein

    The splenic vein is formed from small venules that leave the spleen. It travels above the pancreas, alongside the splenic artery.It collects branches from the stomach and pancreas, and most notably from the large intestine (also drained by the superior mesenteric vein) via the inferior mesenteric vein, which drains in the splenic vein shortly before the origin of the hepatic portal vein.

  9. Hepatorenal syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatorenal_syndrome

    The syndrome involves constriction of the blood vessels of the kidneys and dilation of blood vessels in the splanchnic circulation, which supplies the intestines. [2] The classification of hepatorenal syndrome identifies two categories of kidney failure , termed type 1 and type 2 HRS, which both occur in individuals with either cirrhosis or ...
