Splanchnic

Splanchnic (Ancient Greek: σπλαγχνικός splanchnikos; from σπλάγχνον splanchnon, mostly found in its pl. form σπλάγχνα splanchna, "inward parts,[1][2] organs"[3]) is usually used to describe organs in the abdominal cavity (visceral organs).[4] The term "splanchnologia" is used for grouping in Nomina Anatomica,[5] but not in Terminologia Anatomica. It includes most of the structures usually considered "internal organs", but not all (for example, the heart is excluded).[5]
