Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The splanchnic nerves are the nerves that are present in the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. The splanchnic nerves originate initially as paired ganglia; however, they usually fuse. The splanchnic nerves carry the visceral afferent motor fibers and the visceral efferent motor fibers.
