Abdominal aortic plexusW
Abdominal aortic plexus

The abdominal aortic plexus is formed by branches derived, on either side, from the celiac plexus and ganglia, and receives filaments from some of the lumbar ganglia.

Anterior vagal trunkW
Anterior vagal trunk

The anterior vagal trunk is a branch of the vagus nerve which contributes to the esophageal plexus. It consists primarily of fibers from the left vagus, but also contains a few fibers from the right vagus nerve.

Cardiac plexusW
Cardiac plexus

The cardiac plexus is a plexus of nerves situated at the base of the heart that innervates the heart.

Celiac plexusW
Celiac plexus

The celiac plexus or coeliac plexus, also known as the solar plexus because of its radiating nerve fibers, is a complex network of nerves located in the abdomen, near where the celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and renal arteries branch from the abdominal aorta. It is behind the stomach and the omental bursa, and in front of the crura of the diaphragm, on the level of the first lumbar vertebra.

Gastric plexusesW
Gastric plexuses

The superior gastric plexus accompanies the left gastric artery along the lesser curvature of the stomach, and joins with branches from the left vagus nerve.

Hepatic plexusW
Hepatic plexus

The hepatic plexus, the largest offset from the celiac plexus, receives filaments from the left vagus and right phrenic nerves.

Inferior hypogastric plexusW
Inferior hypogastric plexus

The inferior hypogastric plexus is a network (plexus) of nerves that supplies the organs of the pelvic cavity. The inferior hypogastric plexus gives rise to the prostatic plexus in males and the uterovaginal plexus in females.

Inferior mesenteric plexusW
Inferior mesenteric plexus

The inferior mesenteric plexus is derived chiefly from the aortic plexus.

Posterior vagal trunkW
Posterior vagal trunk

The posterior vagal trunk is a branch of the vagus nerve which contributes to the esophageal plexus. It consists primarily of fibers from the right vagus, but also contains a few fibers from the left vagus.

Ramus communicansW
Ramus communicans

Ramus communicans is the Latin term used for a nerve which connects two other nerves, and can be translated as "communicating branch".

Renal plexusW
Renal plexus

The renal plexus is formed by filaments from the celiac ganglia and plexus, aorticorenal ganglia, lower thoracic splanchnic nerves and first lumbar splanchnic nerve and aortic plexus.

Spermatic plexusW
Spermatic plexus

The spermatic plexus is derived from the renal plexus, receiving branches from the aortic plexus. It accompanies the internal spermatic artery to the testis.

Splenic plexusW
Splenic plexus

The splenic plexus is formed by branches from the celiac plexus, the left celiac ganglion, and from the right vagus nerve.

Superior hypogastric plexusW
Superior hypogastric plexus

The superior hypogastric plexus is a plexus of nerves situated on the vertebral bodies anterior to the bifurcation of the abdominal aorta.

Superior mesenteric plexusW
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.

Suprarenal plexusW
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.

White ramus communicansW
White ramus communicans

The white ramus communicans from Latin ramus (branch) and communicans (communicating) is the preganglionic sympathetic outflow nerve tract from the spinal cord.
