| splanchnic layer | The internal layer of the lateral mesoderm, lying adjacent to the endoderm and together with it forming the splanchnopleure. (05 Mar 2000) |

| splanchnic mesoderm | The layer of lateral plate mesoderm adjacent to the endoderm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| splanchnic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of the nerve's supplying the viscera. There are three groups of splanchnic nerves: cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves, abdominopelvic nerves, and pelvic splanchnic nerves.the individual listings for the splanchnic nerves mentioned. (05 Mar 2000) |
| splanchnic nerves | The major nerves supplying sympathetic innervation to the abdomen. The greater, lesser, and lowest (or smallest) splanchnic nerves are formed by preganglionic fibres from the spinal cord which pass through the paravertebral ganglia and then to the coeliac ganglia and plexuses. The lumbar splanchnic nerves carry fibres which pass through the lumbar paravertebral ganglia to the mesenteric and hypogastric ganglia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thoracic splanchnic nerves | Splanchnic nerves arising from the thoracic portion of the sympathetic trunks; the upper thoracic splanchnic nerves (from T1 to T4 or 5) pass to viscera above the diaphragm (mainly heart and lungs) and so are cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves; the lower thoracic splanchnic nerves form the greater, lesser, and lowest splanchnic nerves and supply viscera below the level of the diaphragm, and so are abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| upper thoracic splanchnic nerves | Part of the cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves from the second to fifth segments of the thoracic sympathetic trunk that pass medially and anteriorly to enter the cardiac plexus; they convey postsynaptic sympathetic fibres to, and visceral afferent (pain) fibres from, the heart. Synonym: nervi cardiaci thoracici, upper thoracic splanchnic nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral splanchnic arteries | Artery's that arise in the embryo from the dorsal aorta to supply the mesonephros, testis or ovary, and adrenal gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lesser splanchnic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of the abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves arising in the thorax from the last two thoracic sympathetic ganglia and passing through the diaphragm to the aorticorenal ganglion; conveys presynaptic sympathetic fibres and visceral afferent fibres. Synonym: nervus splanchnicus minor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lowest splanchnic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of the abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves arising in the thorax and penetrating the diaphragm to supply presynaptic sympathetic fibres for the renal plexus; often combined with the lesser splanchnic nerve, but occasionally existing as an independent nerve. Synonym: nervus splanchnicus imus, smallest splanchnic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lumbar splanchnic nerves | Branches from the lumbar sympathetic trunks that pass anteriorly to convey presynaptic sympathetic fibres to, and visceral afferents from, the coeliac, intermesenteric, aortic, and superior hypogastric plexuses. Synonym: nervi splanchnici lumbales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominal wall fat pad biopsy | <investigation, procedure, surgery> The removal of a small specimen of the abdominal wall fat pad for microscopic examination. Often used in the diagnosis of amyloidosis. Performed with a local anaesthetic. (25 Jun 1999) |
| anterior wall of middle ear | It contains the carotid canal and the opening of the auditory tube. Synonym: paries caroticus cavi tympani, anterior wall of middle ear, carotid wall of middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior wall of stomach | The part of the gastric wall that faces the peritoneal cavity. Synonym: paries anterior gastris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior wall of tympanic cavity | It contains the carotid canal and the opening of the auditory tube. Synonym: paries caroticus cavi tympani, anterior wall of middle ear, carotid wall of middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior wall of vagina | It is somewhat shorter than the posterior wall and at its upper end is penetrated by the cervix of the uterus. Synonym: paries anterior vaginae. (05 Mar 2000) |
