    (2) Suprarenal plexus, which receive branches from great splanchnic and phrenic nerves. (3) Renal plexus, joined by filaments from lesser and smaller splanchnic nerves, and communicating with spermatic plexus. (4) Spermatic plexus (ovarian in female), derived from renal plexus. (5) Coelictc plexus, the direct continuation of solar plexus. It receives branches from lesser splanchnic nerves, and, on the left side, branches from right vagus. It subdivides into gastric (or coronary), hepatic, and splenic plexuses. The hepatic plexus receives filaments from left vagus and right phrenic nerves and gives branch plexuses corresponding with the branches of hepatic artery. The splenic plexus receives twigs from the right vagus and the gastric receives branches from left vagus. (6) Superior mesenteric plexus receives a branch from right vagus, and is the continuation of lower part of solar plexus. It supplies branches corresponding with those of superior mesenteric artery. (7) Aortic plexus lies on sides and front of aorta, receiving branches from semilunar ganglia, renal and solar plexuses, and gives rise to inferior]' mesenteric, part of spermatic, and hypogastric plexuses. The inferior mesenteric plexus gives the following secondary plexuses : left colic, sigmoid, and superior hcemorrhoiclal. (c) The Hypogastric Plexus. This supplies pelvic viscera. It lies on sacral pro- montory, between common iliac arteries, being formed from aortic plexus and lumbar ganglia. It contains no ganglia, and divides into two lateral pelvic plexuses. (d) The Pelvic Plexus. The pelvic or inferior hypogastric plexus lies at side of rectum and bladder. From it branch plexuses pass with those of internal iliac artery to all the pelvic viscera as follows : Inferior hcemorrhoiclal, vesical (which communicates with spermatic plexus), and prostatic plexuses.
