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)
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.
Do you mean the OS cordis (bones in the heart)? If so then it is not seen in humans, it is common in ruminant species like cattle, it is also seen in otters! It is part of the Splanchnic skeleton and the bone form on soft tissue.
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 pelvic splanchnic nerve contains parasympathetic fibers that regulate the function of pelvic organs, such as the bladder, rectum, and reproductive organs. These fibers are involved in controlling processes like urination, defecation, and sexual function.

Splanchnic bones, also known as heterotopic bones, are primarily found in certain species of reptiles, particularly in the form of osseous structures within the soft tissues associated with organs. They are most notably present in some species of turtles, where they form in the soft tissue near the cloaca. Additionally, splanchnic bones can also be found in other animals, such as in the pelvic region of some mammals, but their occurrence is less common compared to reptiles.

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 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.
