  2. 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 ...

  3. Celiac ganglia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celiac_ganglia

    The celiac ganglia or coeliac ganglia are two large irregularly shaped masses of nerve tissue in the upper abdomen. Part of the sympathetic subdivision of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the two celiac ganglia are the largest ganglia in the ANS, and they innervate most of the digestive tract .

  4. Nerve plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_plexus

    The celiac, or solar plexus, is located around the celiac trunk and contains the celiac ganglia. The solar plexus is the largest autonomic plexus and provides innervation to multiple abdominal and pelvic organs. The superior mesenteric plexus includes the

  5. Ganglion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganglion

    Ganglia often interconnect with other ganglia to form a complex system of ganglia known as a plexus. Ganglia provide relay points and intermediary connections between different neurological structures in the body, such as the peripheral and central nervous systems. Among vertebrates there are three major groups of ganglia:

  6. Sympathetic trunk - Wikipedia

    The superior end of it is continued upward through the carotid canal into the skull, and forms a plexus on the internal carotid artery; the inferior part travels in front of the coccyx, where it converges with the other trunk at a structure known as the ganglion impar.

  7. Enteric nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enteric_nervous_system

    The plexus includes sensory receptors, such as chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors, that are used to provide sensory input to the interneurons in the enteric nervous system. The plexus is the parasympathetic nucleus of origin for the vagus nerve and communicates with the medulla oblongata through both the anterior and posterior vagal nerves.

  9. Superior mesenteric plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_mesenteric_plexus

    The superior mesenteric plexus is a continuation of the lower part of the celiac plexus, receiving a branch from the junction of the right vagus nerve with the plexus.. It surrounds the superior mesenteric artery, accompanies it into the mesentery, and divides into a number of secondary plexuses, which are distributed to all the parts supplied by the artery, viz., pancreatic branches to the ...
