aorticorenal

The aorticorenal ganglia are often considered to be part of the celiac ganglia, and thus, part of the plexus.

Below this the lesser splanchnic nerve leaves the sympathetic chain and synapses at the aorticorenal ganglion before going onto also supply the kidney and upper ureter.

The lesser splanchnic nerve travels from the vertebral levels T10-T11 to the abdomen's superior mesenteric ganglia, which innervates the superior mesenteric artery, and to the aorticorenal ganglion.

The renal plexus is formed by filaments from the celiac ganglia and plexus, aorticorenal ganglia, lower thoracic splanchnic nerves and first lumbar splanchnic nerve and aortic plexus.

The upper part of each ganglion is joined by the greater splanchnic nerve, while the lower part, which is segmented off and named the aorticorenal ganglion, receives the lesser splanchnic nerve and gives off the greater part of the renal plexus.
