| plexus dentalis inferior | Formed by branches of the inferior alveolar nerve interlacing before they supply the teeth; it gives off interior dental branches to the teeth and inferior gingival branches to the gums. Synonym: plexus dentalis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus dentalis superior | Formed by branches of the infraorbital nerve, it gives off superior dental branches to the upper and superior gingival branches to the gums. Synonym: plexus dentalis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus entericus | The autonomic plexus in the wall of the intestine; it consists of three parts, submucosal, myenteric, and subserosal; ganglionic cells are scattered through the myenteric and submucosal plexus. Synonym: plexus entericus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| plexus gulae | One of two nervous plexus's, posterior and anterior on the walls of the oesophagus; the first is formed by branches from the right vagus and left recurrent, the second by the anastomosing trunks of the vagus after leaving the pulmonary plexus's; branches supply the mucous and muscular coats of the oesophagus.

| plexus hypogastricus superior | The continuation of the aortic plexus inferior to the aortic bifurcation across the fifth lumbar vertebra into the pelvis where it divides into two hypogastric nerves at the sides of the rectum; these join the pelvic splanchnic nerves to form the inferior hypogastric plexus's supplying pelvic viscera. Synonym: plexus hypogastricus superior, nervus presacralis, Latarget's nerve, presacral nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus iliaci | The autonomic plexus lying on the iliac arteries, derived from the aortic plexus. Synonym: plexus iliaci. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus iliacus externus | A lymphatic plexus formed by the lymph nodes along the external iliac artery on either side, and their afferent and efferent vessels. Synonym: plexus iliacus externus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus inguinalis | A lymphatic plexus formed of 10 to 15 lymph nodes with their connecting vessels lying superficially near the termination of the great saphenous vein and more deeply along the femoral artery and vein.
