_Spleen_: The coeliac plexus, the left semilunar ganglion, and the
left vagus and right phrenic nerves give off branches which form the
splenic plexus. Spinal connection by way of ninth dorsal nerve, by rami
communicantes to gangliated cord to great splanchnic nerve to coeliac
plexus to splenic plexus. Many nerve pathways like this one are less
indirect than they sound; various names have been given to different
parts of the same pathway through which, often, the axons pass without
interruption. On the way from the cerebral cortex to one of the
abdominal viscera there may be only three, sometimes four or five,
neurons connected end to end.
_Duodenum_: Coeliac plexus by way of duodenal branches of hepatic
plexus and branches from the superior mesenteric plexus. Spinal
connection from eighth dorsal nerve and possibly branches from
the upper lumbar ganglia of the sympathetic may join the superior
mesenteric plexus, as results in duodenal disease are occasionally
reported following specific adjustment of L 1 or 2.
_Jejunum and Ileum_: Connection same as for duodenum, by superior
mesenteric plexus. Adjustment of L 2 in typhoid fever is undoubtedly
correct so that it is probable that the lumbar ganglia send branches to
this vicinity.
_Peritoneum_: Nerve supply to the peritoneum is rather general owing to
its great extent. It is supplied by the sympathetic from both the lower
thoracic and lumbar portions of the gangliated cord through the various
abdominal plexuses and in general it may be said that any localized
peritoneal disease will yield to the same adjustment as would be made
for disease in the immediately subjacent organ.
_Suprarenal Capsules_: These important glands are supplied by amyelinic
fibres derived from the gangliated cord by the lesser splanchnic nerve
and connecting with pre-ganglionic fibres from the tenth dorsal nerve.
The suprarenal plexus is an offshoot of the coeliac.
_Kidneys_: Tenth, eleventh, and twelfth dorsal nerves by way of lesser
and least splanchnic nerves to renal plexus, an offshoot of the
coeliac. McConnell’s experiments and the frequently duplicated clinical
feats of Chiropractors prove this to be a vital and dominant nerve
pathway in kidney disease.
_Ureters_: Nerves derived from inferior mesenteric, pelvic, and
spermatic plexuses. Most important connection seems to be from first
lumbar nerve by lumbar ganglia to inferior mesenteric plexus.
_Caecum and Vermiform Appendix_: The inferior mesenteric plexus, which
supplies these organs probably carries to them chiefly fibres derived
from the lumber ganglia which complete a connection with the second
lumbar vertebra, especially on the right side.
_Colon_: Third and fourth lumbar vertebrae, influencing lumbar ganglia
and thus inferior mesenteric plexus.
