Splanchnic is usually used to describe organs in the abdominal cavity.[1]
It is used when describing:
- Splanchnic tissue
- Splanchnic organs - including the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, pancreas, spleen, liver,[2] and may also include the kidney.[3]
- Splanchnic nerves
- Splanchnic mesoderm
- Splanchnic circulation – the circulation of the gastrointestinal tract originating at the celiac trunk, the superior mesenteric artery and the inferior mesenteric artery.[4][5]
History and etymology
The term derives from Ancient Greek: σπλαγχνικός, romanized: splanchnikos, meaning "inward parts,[6][7] organs".[8]
The term "splanchnologia" is used for grouping in Nomina Anatomica,[9] but not in Terminologia Anatomica. It includes most of the structures usually considered "internal organs", but not all (for example, the heart is excluded).[9]
