Nerves of the torso

  • 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 (a nerve plexus) located in the abdomen, near where the celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and renal arteries branch from the abdominal aorta.
  • Posterior gastric branches of posterior vagal trunk
    The posterior gastric branches of posterior vagal trunk are branches of the posterior vagal trunk which supply the stomach.
  • Posterior vagal trunk
    The posterior vagal trunk is a branch of the vagus nerve which contributes to the esophageal plexus.
  • Renal branches of vagus nerve
    The renal branches of vagus nerve are small branches which provide parasympathetic innervation to the kidney.
  • 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.
  • Ovarian plexus
    The ovarian plexus arises from the renal plexus, and is distributed to the ovary, and fundus of the uterus.
  • Pancreatic plexus
    In human neuroanatomy, the pancreatic plexus is a division of the celiac plexus (coeliac plexus) in the abdomen.
  • Gastric plexuses
    The superior gastric plexus (gastric or coronary plexus) accompanies the left gastric artery along the lesser curvature of the stomach, and joins with branches from the left vagus nerve.
  • Gray ramus communicans
    Each spinal nerve receives a branch called a gray ramus communicans (plural rami communicantes) from the adjacent paravertebral ganglion of the sympathetic trunk.
  • Anterior gastric branches of anterior vagal trunk
    The anterior gastric branches of anterior vagal trunk are branches of the anterior vagal trunk which supply the stomach.
  • Anterior vagal trunk
    The anterior vagal trunk is a branch of the vagus nerve which contributes to the esophageal plexus.
  • Pulmonary plexus
    The pulmonary plexus is an autonomic plexus formed from pulmonary branches of vagus nerve and the sympathetic trunk.
  • Ramus communicans
    Ramus communicans (plural rami communicantes) is the Latin term used for a nerve which connects two other nerves, and can be translated as "communicating branch".
  • Inferior hypogastric plexus
    The inferior hypogastric plexus (pelvic plexus in some texts) is a plexus of nerves that supplies the viscera of the pelvic cavity.
  • White ramus communicans
    The white ramus communicans (plural: rami communicantes) from Latin ramus (branch) and communicans (communicating) is the preganglionic sympathetic outflow nerve tract from the spinal cord.
  • Superior hypogastric plexus
    The superior hypogastric plexus (in older texts, hypogastric plexus or presacral nerve) is a plexus of nerves situated on the vertebral bodies anterior to the bifurcation of the abdominal aorta.
  • Hepatic plexus
    The hepatic plexus, the largest offset from the celiac plexus, receives filaments from the left vagus and right phrenic nerves.
  • Celiac ganglia
    The celiac ganglia or coeliac ganglia are two large irregularly shaped masses of nerve tissue in the upper abdomen.
  • Thoracic aortic plexus
    The thoracic aortic plexus is a sympathetic plexus in the region of the thoracic aorta.
  • Hepatic branches of anterior vagal trunk
    The hepatic branches of anterior vagal trunk are branches of the anterior vagal trunk which supply the liver.
  • Celiac branches of vagus nerve
    The celiac (or coeliac) branches of vagus nerve are small branches which provide parasympathetic innervation to the celiac plexus.
  • Abdominal aortic plexus
    The abdominal aortic plexus (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.
  • Cardiac plexus
    The cardiac plexus is a plexus of nerves situated at the base of the heart that innervates the heart.
  • Inferior cardiac branches of the vagus nerve
    The inferior cardiac branches (or thoracic cardiac branches) of the vagus nerve, on the right side, arise from the trunk of the vagus as it lies by the side of the trachea, and from its recurrent nerve; on the left side from the recurrent nerve only; passing inward, they end in the deep part of the cardiac plexus.
  • Inferior mesenteric plexus
    The inferior mesenteric plexus is derived chiefly from the aortic plexus.
