Celiac Branches of Vagus Nerve

The celiac (or coeliac) branches of vagus nerve are small branches which provide parasympathetic innervation to the celiac plexus.

Famous quotes containing the words branches and/or nerve:

    “Different persons growing up in the same language are like different bushes trimmed and trained to take the shape of identical elephants. The anatomical details of twigs and branches will fulfill the elephantine form differently from bush to bush, but the overall outward results are alike.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    “The American people is out to get the kaiser. We are bending every nerve and every energy towards that end; anybody who gets in the way of the great machine the energy and devotion of a hundred million patriots is building towards the stainless purpose of saving civilization from the Huns will be mashed like a fly. I’m surprised that a collegebred man like you hasn’t more sense. Don’t monkey with the buzzsaw.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
