Why is the solar plexus so called and where is it in man?
The solar plexus is a collection of neural elements. This is a place in the human body - if you do not take into account the nervous system - in which the largest number of nerve endings and nodes are concentrated.
The solar node consists of:
- mesenteric node;
- right and left celiac nodes;
- nerves.
All these elements that are in the solar plexus in humans and under it, closely intertwined with each other and diverge to different systems and organs, like rays. Hence the corresponding name appeared.
The celiac plexus is located between the breastbone and the abdominal cavity - approximately opposite the stomach. To it nerves from a spleen, kidneys, a diaphragm, a stomach are tightened. This zone is a kind of a link between different organs and the central nervous system. Therefore, it is very important for the health and normal functioning of the body.
