In class today, Dr. Zagon said the following for the destinations for the 3 thoracic sphlancic nerves:
Greater splanchnic to celiac ganglion
Lesser splanchnic to Superior mesenteric ganglion
Least splanchnic to Aorticorenal ganglion.
However, according to both Hollinshead and Gray's, the follow is true:
Greater splanchnic to celiac ganglion
Lesser splanchnic to aorticorenal ganglion
Least splanchnic to renal plexus.
I know the aorticorenal and superior mesenteric ganglion are close to each other, and the renal plexus/ganglion receives fibers from the aorticorenal ganglion. However, since they are still distinct ganglion, which set of information is correct?
Thanks guys
