Descriptor nervios esplácnicos
Scope note: Principales nervios que suministran inervación simpática al abdomen. Las fibras preganglionares forman los nervios esplácnicos mayor, menor e inferior (o pequeño) que se originan en la médula espinal, las cuales atraviesan los ganglios paravertebrales y de ahí a los plexos y ganglios celíacos. Los nervios esplácnicos lumbares llevan fibras que pasan a través de los ganglios paravertebrales lumbares hasta los ganglios mesentéricos e hipogástricos.

Scope note: The major nerves supplying sympathetic innervation to the abdomen. The greater, lesser, and lowest (or smallest) splanchnic nerves are formed by preganglionic fibers from the spinal cord which pass through the paravertebral ganglia and then to the celiac ganglia and plexuses. The lumbar splanchnic nerves carry fibers which pass through the lumbar paravertebral ganglia to the mesenteric and hypogastric ganglia.
