The celiac (or coeliac) branches of vagus nerve are small branches which provide parasympathetic innervation to the celiac plexus. The celiac nerves receive sensory information from multiple gastrointestinal organs as well as from the spleen, kidneys and extrarenal glands.[1] In turn, these nerves influence the activatation of smooth muscle and secretory cells in these organs.[1]
