Celiac branches of vagus nerve

Nerve: Celiac branches of vagus nerve
Latin	rami coeliaci nervi vagi
From	anterior gastric branches of anterior vagal trunk, posterior gastric branches of posterior vagal trunk
To	celiac plexus

The celiac (or coeliac) branches of vagus nerve are small branches which provide parasympathetic innervation to the celiac plexus.
