    Hepatic branches which supply the liver, [3] [1] gallbladder, and biliary apparatus. [1] Celiac branches which contributes parasympathetic afferents to the celiac plexus. [1] Anterior gastric branches which supply the stomach. [3] [1] Anterior and posterior nerves of Latarjet which innervate the pylorus, and proximal duodenum. [1]

  4. Thoraco-abdominal nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoraco-abdominal_nerves

    They supply the rectus abdominis and end as the anterior cutaneous branches of the abdomen; they supply the skin of the front of the abdomen. The lower intercostal nerves supply the intercostales and abdominal muscles; the last three send branches to the serratus posterior inferior. About the middle of their course they give off lateral ...

  5. Vagotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagotomy

    Highly selective vagotomy includes denervation of only the fundus and body (parietal cell-containing areas) of the stomach (also called parietal cell vagotomy). It preserves the nerve supply of the antrum and pylorus; a pyloric drainage procedure is not needed. It does not denervate the liver, biliary tree, pancreas, or small and large bowel.

  6. Vagovagal reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagovagal_reflex

    The vagovagal reflex is active during the receptive relaxation of the stomach in response to swallowing of food (prior to it reaching the stomach). When food enters the stomach a "vagovagal" reflex goes from the stomach to the brain, and then back again to the stomach causing active relaxation of the smooth muscle in the stomach wall.

  7. Celiac plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celiac_plexus

    The celiac plexus, also known as the solar plexus because of its radiating nerve fibers, [1] is a complex network of nerves located in the abdomen, near where the celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and renal arteries branch from the abdominal aorta.

  8. Enteric nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enteric_nervous_system

    Layers of the Alimentary Canal.The wall of the alimentary canal has four basic tissue layers: the mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and serosa. The enteric nervous system in humans consists of some 500 million neurons [11] (including the various types of Dogiel cells), [1] [12] 0.5% of the number of neurons in the brain, five times as many as the one hundred million neurons in the human spinal ...

  9. Hypogastric nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypogastric_nerve

    The hypogastric nerves begin where the superior hypogastric plexus splits into a right and left hypogastric nerves. The hypogastric nerves continue inferiorly on their corresponding side of the body, where they descends into the pelvis to form the inferior hypogastric plexuses. [1] The hypogastric nerves likely contain three nerve fibers types: [2]
