Yes
Splanchnic organs refer to the organs in the abdominal cavity that receive sympathetic innervation from the splanchnic nerves. Some examples of splanchnic organs include the stomach, liver, spleen, pancreas, and intestines.
They are called splanchnic nerves. These nerves carry preganglionic fibers to the collateral ganglia where they synapse with postganglionic neurons.

Sympathetic fibers that originate from the spinal cord levels T5-L2 form the splanchnic nerves. These fibers pass through the sympathetic chain ganglia without synapsing and project to the abdominal and pelvic viscera to regulate their functions.
The sympathetic nervous system branches include the sympathetic trunk and the splanchnic nerves. The sympathetic trunk contains the sympathetic ganglia, which are responsible for sending signals to various target organs in the body. The splanchnic nerves innervate the abdominal organs and play a role in regulating their function.
Yes, splanchnic nerves are primarily composed of autonomic (motor) fibers that innervate the viscera (organs) of the abdomen. They carry information from the organs to the central nervous system but are not primarily sensory in nature.
The vagus nerve is one of the twelve cranial nerves.
Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers. In the Parasympathetic division, the preganglionic axons leave the ventral roots of the spinal cord and collectively form the pelvic splanchnic nerves.
The bladder is innervated by the parasympathetic fibers of the pelvic splanchnic nerves (S2-S4) which stimulate contraction of the detrusor muscle. The internal urethral sphincter is innervated by sympathetic fibers from the hypogastric nerve, which cause it to contract and prevent urine leakage.
The abdominal muscles are primarily innervated by the lower intercostal nerves, which originate from the thoracic spinal nerves. These nerves come together to form the lower thoracic intercostal nerves and the subcostal nerve, collectively contributing to the innervation of the abdominal muscles.
The cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves help regulate cardiovascular and respiratory functions by transmitting signals between the heart, lungs, and brain. These nerves play a role in controlling heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate to maintain proper functioning of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
