IX. Neurology. 1F. The Great Plexuses of the Sympathetic System. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. 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. The suprarenal plexus (plexus suprarenalis) 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. The nerves composing this plexus are white in color and firm in texture; in the upper part of the plexus close to the origin of the superior mesenteric artery is a ganglion (ganglion mesentericum superius). www.bartleby.com /107/220.html   (1794 words)

IX. Neurology. 7c. The Thoracic Portion of the Sympathetic System. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. It descends obliquely on the bodies of the vertebræ, perforates the crus of the diaphragm, and ends in the celiac ganglion. A striking analogy exists between the splanchnic and the cardiac nerves. The splanchnic nerves, also three in number, are connected probably with all the thoracic ganglia, and are distributed to important organs in the abdominal cavity. www.bartleby.com /107/217.html   (419 words)

Anatomy - Upper Extremity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) Splanchnic nerves arise from chain ganglia and are distributed via autonomic plexuses to viscera in the thorax; the cardiac, pulmonary, esophageal and aortic plexuses. Splanchnic nerves from the lower 7 sympathetic chain ganglia also give off postganglionic fibers; but, in addition, these lower ganglia give rise to three specifically named (i.e., Greater, Lesser, and Least) splanchnic nerves which are mostly preganglionic. The greater splanchnic nerves are formed by branches from the 5th to the 9th thoracic ganglia. cats.med.uvm.edu /cats_teachingmod/gross_anatomy/thorax/pages/ans_specifics.html   (1310 words)

Thoracic Nerves The somatic nerves are the twelve thoracic spinal nerves and the phrenic. The autonomic nerves are the fibres from the sympathetic chain, and the vagus nerve. In the neck the nerves lie in the carotid sheath between the internal jugular vein and the common carotid artery. www.med.mun.ca /anatomyts/thorax/thornerv.htm   (854 words)

Splanchnic nerves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The splanchnic nerves are part of the autonomic nervous system. Most autonomic nerves synapse in the sympathetic trunk along the spinal cord, but splanchnic nerves pass through the trunk, travel near their target organ, and synapse in prevertebral ganglia. Pelvic splanchnic nerves enervate the pelvic and genital organs, regulating the emptying of the urinary bladder and the rectum as well as sexual functions like erection and orgasm. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Splanchnic_nerves   (109 words)

NEUROL.HTM The solar plexus and the splanchnic nerves convey, in parallel to the vegetative nerve fibres of the sympathetic nerve system, sensitive fibres of gastric, pancreatic, hepatic and mesenteric origin. The splanchnic nerves are located on the same level as the coeliaque plexus but circulate behind the pillars of the diaphragm, in front of the vertebrae. Among cancer patients, the pains are caused by the compression of or the invasion of the nerve structures by the tumour. emmanuel.brunet.free.fr /englishv/neurol.htm   (843 words)

Autonomics of the Abdomen, Pelvis, and Perineum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers from the vagus nerve pass through each of the ganglia comprising the Celiac Ganglion Complex and are distributed with the blood vessels until they reach their appropriate terminal ganglia in the wall of their target organs. Splanchnic nerves from these sympathetic chain ganglia are mostly postganglionic sympathetic fibers which may pass through a prevertebral ganglion or travel directly to the organs via the arteries. The vagus nerve innervates all structures related to the GI tract from the esophagus to the splenic flexure of the large intestine. cats.med.uvm.edu /cats_teachingmod/gross_anatomy/abdomen/pages/autonomics.html   (722 words)

Pelvic Wall & Floor - Dissector Answers The inferior hypogastric plexus is a major meshwork of nerves that are located on either side of the rectum, cervix, and lateral vagina in the female, or on either side of the rectum, prostate, and seminal vessicles in the male. Sacral splanchnic nerves are slender fibers leaving the anterior surface of the sacral sympathetic trunk ganglia to enter the inferior hypogastric plexus on the sides of the rectum. The pelvic splancnic nerves spring from the ventral rami of the second, third, and fourth sacral nerves. anatomy.med.umich.edu /pelvis/pelvicwall_ans.html   (2520 words)

[No title] The cells of origin of the greater splanchnic nerve are found in T5-T9 of the intermediolateral column (IMLC). Thus, the bundles of nerves surrounding the arteries consist of sympathetic postganglionic axons AND parasympathetic preganglionic axons. As the cervix is being stretched to pass the head and shoulders of the baby, the pain passes through the plexi of nerves, through the pelvic splanchnic nerve, and returns to S3-S4 of the spinal cord. www.uhmc.sunysb.edu /som/students/2003/Lectures/body09.doc   (2003 words)

Autonomic NS It is a solely efferent system, however, afferent visceral fibers, associated with the spinal nerve, travel with the efferent fibers and provide information to the CNS concerning the state of the viscera. Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers leave the spinal nerve as the pelvic splanchnic nerves (to be learned later) but never reenter it to be distributed to the periphery. The greater, lesser, and least splanchnic nerves and the lumbar splanchnic nerves are formed by these fibers and visceral afferents which travel with them but are not considered to be part of the autonomic nervous system. wings.buffalo.edu /smbs/ana/newpage41.htm   (1458 words)

the Trocar :: Online Videojournal of Gynecologic and surgical endoscopy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) The classical anatomical description of the nerves of the pelvis are somehow difficult to understand and insufficient for the surgeon because of the tri-dimensional distribution of these nerves in the posterior part of the pelvis. The inferior hypogastric nerves carry the sensitive fibers and the sympathetic fibers responsible for the relaxation of the bladder detrusor muscle and for the contraction of the urethral sphincter. The pelvic splanchnic nerves carry the parasympathetic fibers which are responsible for the voiding function of the detrusor of the bladder. www.thetrocar.net /view.asp?ID=7   (731 words)

Emergency Medicine With respect to the abdomen, general visceral afferent nerves work through stretch receptors, which are extremely important for sensation in tubular structures, as well as in solid organs. General somatic afferent nerves are responsible for sensory function from somatic tissues and utilize pain and temperature receptors. Finally, the vagus and phrenic nerves carry both afferent and efferent fibers, and are both somatic and visceral. www.emedmag.com /html/pre/cov/covers/011502.asp   (2843 words)

lesser splanchnic nerve (anatomy) - General Practice Notebook   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) The lesser splanchnic nerves are paired structures on either side of the vertebral column. They are formed from preganglionic sympathetic nerve fibres which pass through the ninth and tenth paravertebral ganglia on each side without synapsing. The fibres converge to form the lesser splanchnic nerves which pass inferiorly from thorax to abdomen lateral to the spinal column on each side. www.gpnotebook.co.uk /cache/389349435.htm   (175 words)

Lecture Notes - Posterior Mediastinum Thoracic splanchnic nerves (greater, lesser, & least) are still presynaptic and go to one of the preaortic ganglia (celiac, superior mesenteric, aorticorenal) to synapse. Lumbar splanchnic nerves are mixed pre- & postsynaptic, some synapse in aorticorenal & inferior mesenteric ganglion. Sacral splanchnic nerves are postsynaptic (they synapse in the chain), as are thoracic visceral nerves (T1-5) and cervical cardiac nerves. www.med.umich.edu /lrc/coursepages/M1/anatomy/html/thorax/post_med_lecture.html   (585 words)
