A nerve network situated at the back of the abdomen between the adrenal glands.
Network of nerve fibers and ganglia where sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers combine at the upper part of the back of the abdomen.
A network of interconnected nerves in the abdomen that lies behind the stomach and between the adrenal glands. Also called the celiac plexus, the solar plexus sends out nerve branches to the stomach, intestines, and most other abdominal organs.
A network of sympathetic nerves and ganglia high in the back of the abdomen.
A large network of sympathetic nerves and ganglia situated in the abdomen behind the stomach, where it surrounds the coeliac artery. Branches of the vagus nerve the most important part of the parasympathetic nervous system lead into the solar plexus, which in turn distributes branches to the stomach, intestines and several other abdominal organs. A severe blow in the solar plexus may cause temporary unconsciousness.
Positioned behind the stomach and nestled between the adrenal glands, the solar plexus is the most extensive network of autonomic nerves within the body. It encompasses offshoots of the vagus nerve and the splanchnic (visceral) nerves, extending branches into the stomach, intestines, and various other organs in the abdominal region.
A commonly used term for the celiac plexus, a cluster of nerves associated with the sympathetic nervous system, located in front of the spine at the upper abdominal level. A significant impact in this area can generate such a strong stimulus to the plexus that it may lead to a sudden cardiac arrest.
