    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

    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 circulation: 15%: Part of portal venous system, so oncotic pressure is very low renal circulation ...

  4. Hepatic portal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatic_portal_system

    The portal venous system is responsible for directing blood from parts of the gastrointestinal tract to the liver. Substances absorbed in the small intestine travel first to the liver for processing before continuing to the heart.

  5. 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.

  6. Gastrointestinal physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_physiology

    The digestive system has a complex system of motility and secretion regulation which is vital for proper function. This task is accomplished via a system of long reflexes from the central nervous system (CNS), short reflexes from the enteric nervous system (ENS) and reflexes from GI peptides working in harmony with each other.

  7. Lateral plate mesoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_plate_mesoderm

    The lateral plate mesoderm is the mesoderm that is found at the periphery of the embryo.It is to the side of the paraxial mesoderm, and further to the axial mesoderm.The lateral plate mesoderm is separated from the paraxial mesoderm by a narrow region of intermediate mesoderm.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Mesoderm - Wikipedia

    Eventually it differentiates into urogenital structures that consist of the kidneys, gonads, their associated ducts, and the adrenal cortex. The lateral plate mesoderm gives rise to the heart, blood vessels, and blood cells of the circulatory system, as well as to the mesodermal components of the limbs. [4]
