Splanchnic (Ancient Greek: σπλαγχνικός splanchnikos; from σπλάγχνον splanchnon, mostly found in its pl. form σπλάγχνα splanchna, "inward parts,[1][2] organs[3]") is usually used to describe organs in the abdominal cavity (visceral organs).[4] The term "splanchnologia" is used for grouping in Nomina Anatomica,[5] but not in Terminologia Anatomica. It includes most of the structures usually considered "internal organs", but not all (for example, the heart is excluded.)[5]
More specifically, it can also refer to:
- Splanchnic tissue
- An adjective describing visceral organs including the intestines.
- Splanchnic nerves
- Splanchnic mesoderm
- Splanchnic circulation - The circulation of the gastrointestinal tract originating at the celiac trunk, the inferior mesenteric artery and the superior mesenteric artery.[6][7]
