Preferred Label : celiac nerve plexus;
Uberon definition : A complex network of nerves located in the abdomen behind the stomach. The celiac
plexus is located near where the celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and renal
arteries branch from the abdominal aorta. It is behind the stomach and the omental
bursa and in front of the crura of the diaphragm, on the level of the first lumbar
vertebra, L1. The plexus is formed (in part) by the greater and lesser splanchnic
nerves of both sides, and also parts of the right vagus nerve. The celiac plexus proper
consists of the celiac ganglia with a network of interconnecting fibers. The aorticorenal
ganglia are often considered to be part of the celiac ganglia, and thus, part of the
plexus. [WP,unvetted].;
