• The celiac plexus includes a number of smaller plexuses: Hepatic plexus Splenic plexus Gastric plexus Pancreatic plexus Suprarenal plexus Other plexuses that are derived from the celiac plexus: Renal plexus Testicular plexus / ovarian plexus Superior mesenteric plexus The celiac plexus is often popularly referred to as the solar plexus.

  • The Cardiac Plexus (Plexus Cardiacus) (Fig. 838 ). (bartleby.com)
  • The cardiac plexus is situated at the base of the heart, and is divided into a superficial part, which lies in the concavity of the aortic arch, and a deep part, between the aortic arch and the trachea. (bartleby.com)
  • The superficial part of the cardiac plexus lies beneath the arch of the aorta, in front of the right pulmonary artery. (bartleby.com)
  • It is formed by the superior cardiac branch of the left sympathetic and the lower superior cervical cardiac branch of the left vagus. (bartleby.com)
  • The deep part of the cardiac plexus is situated in front of the bifurcation of the trachea, above the point of division of the pulmonary artery, and behind the aortic arch. (bartleby.com)
  • It is formed by the cardiac nerves derived from the cervical ganglia of the sympathetic, and the cardiac branches of the vagus and recurrent nerves. (bartleby.com)
  • of the cardiac plexus are the superior cardiac nerve of the left sympathetic, and the lower of the two superior cervical cardiac branches from the left vagus, which pass to the superficial part of the plexus. (bartleby.com)
  • The left half of the deep part of the plexus is connected with the superficial part of the cardiac plexus, and gives filaments to the left atrium, and to the anterior pulmonary plexus, and is then continued to form the greater part of the posterior coronary plexus. (bartleby.com)
  • it is chiefly formed by filaments prolonged from the left half of the deep part of the cardiac plexus, and by a few from the right half. (bartleby.com)
  • is formed partly from the superficial and partly from the deep parts of the cardiac plexus. (bartleby.com)
  • 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. (wikipedia.org)
  • those behind the pulmonary artery distribute a few filaments to the right atrium, and are then continued onward to form part of the posterior coronary plexus. (bartleby.com)
  • The celiac 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. (wikipedia.org)
  • The plexus and the ganglia receive the greater and lesser splanchnic nerves of both sides and some filaments from the right vagus, and give off numerous secondary plexuses along the neighboring arteries. (bartleby.com)
  • The celiac plexus proper consists of the celiac ganglia with a network of interconnecting fibers. (wikipedia.org)
  • The aorticorenal ganglia are often considered to be part of the celiac ganglia, and thus, part of the plexus. (wikipedia.org)
  • The celiac plexus, the largest of the three sympathetic plexuses, is situated at the level of the upper part of the first lumbar vertebra and is composed of two large ganglia, the celiac ganglia, and a dense net-work of nerve fibers uniting them together. (bartleby.com)
  • and ( c ) to the left anterior pulmonary plexus. (bartleby.com)
  • In this case it is not the celiac plexus itself being referred to, but rather the region around it. (wikipedia.org)
  • Colic-like pains in hypogastric region, off and on all day. (legatum.sk)
  • It may also affect the celiac plexus itself, which can cause great pain and interfere with the functioning of the viscera. (wikipedia.org)
  • It gives branches to the left atrium and ventricle. (bartleby.com)
  • The upper part of each ganglion is joined by the greater splanchnic nerve, while the lower part, which is segmented off and named the aorticorenal ganglion, receives the lesser splanchnic nerve and gives off the greater part of the renal plexus. (bartleby.com)
