  2. 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 ...

  3. Myenteric plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myenteric_plexus

    The fibers are carried by both the anterior and posterior vagal nerves. The myenteric plexus is the major nerve supply to the gastrointestinal tract and controls GI tract motility. [1] According to preclinical studies, 30% of myenteric plexus' neurons are enteric sensory neurons, thus Auerbach's plexus has also a sensory component. [2] [3]

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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.

  6. Anterior vagal trunk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_vagal_trunk

    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]

  7. Stomach - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stomach

    The human stomach has receptors responsive to sodium glutamate [38] and this information is passed to the lateral hypothalamus and limbic system in the brain as a palatability signal through the vagus nerve. [39] The stomach can also sense, independently of tongue and oral taste receptors, glucose, [40] carbohydrates, [41] proteins, [41] and ...

  8. Thoracic splanchnic nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_splanchnic_nerves

    The nerve contributes to the celiac plexus, a network of nerves located in the vicinity of where the celiac trunk branches from the abdominal aorta. The greater splanchnic nerve modulates the activity of the enteric nervous system of the foregut. It stimulates contraction of the splanchnic vasculature, increasing blood pressure. [5]
