More Information
The celiac plexus, also known as the solar plexus, is a complex network of nerves located in the abdomen that contributes to innervation of the stomach, spleen, liver, and other organs. The periarterial plexuses associated with the celiac artery help to connect this plexus with various organs, including the esophagus.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the arteries associated with different plexuses such as the cardiac, celiac, or hepatic plexuses. Understanding the anatomical location and the organ systems associated with each plexus can help avoid such confusion.
