| plexus venosus rectalis | A venous plexus resting upon the posterior and lateral walls of the rectum; it drains into the superior rectal vein to the portal, the middle rectal to the internal iliac and the inferior rectal to the internal pudendal. Synonym: plexus venosus rectalis, haemorrhoidal plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| plexus venosus suboccipitalis | The extensive plexus of veins in the suboccipital region. Synonym: plexus venosus suboccipitalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus venosus uterinus | The plexiform veins that lie along the sides of the uterus in the broad ligament. Synonym: plexus venosus uterinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus venosus vaginalis | The plexus of veins that surrounds the vagina. Synonym: plexus venosus vaginalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus venosus vertebralis | Any of four interconnected venous networks surrounding the vertebral column; anterior external vertebral venous plexus, the small system around the vertebral bodies; posterior external vertebral venous plexus, the extensive system around the vertebral processes; anterior internal vertebral venous plexus, the system running the length of the vertebral canal anterior to the dura; posterior internal vertebral venous plexus, the system running the length of the vertebral canal posterior to the dura; the latter two constitute the epidural venous plexus. Synonym: plexus venosus vertebralis, Batson's plexus, vertebral venous plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| myenteric plexus | One of two ganglionated neural networks which together form the enteric nervous system. The myenteric (auerbach's) plexus is located between the longitudinal and circular muscle layers of the gut. Its neurons project to the circular muscle, to other myenteric ganglia, to submucosal ganglia, or directly to the epithelium, and play an important role in regulating and patterning gut motility.
