Splanchnic bones, also known as visceral bones, are located within the soft tissues of the body, rather than being connected to the skeletal framework. The most prominent example of splanchnic bones is the os penis (baculum) found in many placental mammals. Another example is the os cordis found in some species of ruminants. These bones support soft organs and structures, often contributing to reproductive or cardiac functions.
The ossa cordis bone in the heart is an example of a splanchnic bone of ruminants
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.
A splanchnic bone is a bone that develops in soft tissue and is unattached to the rest of the skeleton. Ex. In cats and dogs: Os penis (a bone in the penis) In cattle: Os cordis (a bone in the heart)
They are called splanchnic nerves. These nerves carry preganglionic fibers to the collateral ganglia where they synapse with postganglionic neurons.
The splanchnic circulation is a particular bloodflow. It moves through the regions of the stomach, small intestine, colon, pancreas, and spleen.
Splanchnic pooling refers to the physiological process where blood is redirected to the abdominal organs (splanchnic circulation) during exercise or stress. This can lead to a decrease in blood flow to other areas of the body, such as the muscles, which may impact exercise performance.

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.
