 | | Kidneys, suprarenal glands and posterior abdominal vessels, nerves and muscles | | Close-up view of celiac plexus, celiac ganglia, and origins of celiac and superior mesenteric arteries | | The plexus surrounding the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries has been split and retracted to the side to reveal the origins of these arteries from the aorta. The emergence of the aorta through the aortic haitus of the diaphragm is partly visible. The continuity of the celiac, superior mesenteric, aorticorenal and aortic plexuses is apparent in this specimen. | | 1
