Splanchnic, from a Greek word splēn, meaning organ,[1] usually used to describe visceral organs.[2]
More specifically, it can also refer to:
- Splanchnic tissue
- An adjective describing the intestines
- Splanchnic nerves
- Splanchnic mesoderm
- Splanchnic circulation - The circulation of the gastrointestinal tract originating at the coeliac trunk, the inferior mesenteric artery and the superior mesenteric artery [3]
The term "splanchnologia" is used for grouping in Nomina Anatomica,[4] but not in Terminologia Anatomica. It includes most of the structures usually considered "internal organs", but not all (for example, the heart is excluded.)[4]
