Biology:Splanchnic

From HandWiki

Splanchnic is usually used to describe organs in the abdominal cavity.[1] It is used when describing:

  • Splanchnic tissue
  • Splanchnic organs - including the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, pancreas, spleen, liver,[2] and may also include the kidney.[3]
  • Splanchnic nerves
  • Splanchnic mesoderm
  • Splanchnic circulation – the circulation of the gastrointestinal tract originating at the celiac trunk, the superior mesenteric artery and the inferior mesenteric artery.[4][5]

History and etymology

The term derives from Ancient Greek:, meaning "inward parts,[6][7] organs".[8]

The term "splanchnologia" is used for grouping in Nomina Anatomica,[9] but not in Terminologia Anatomica. It includes most of the structures usually considered "internal organs", but not all (for example, the heart is excluded).[9]
