Talk:Celiac plexus

A punch to the solar plexus can make any person become winded in a second.

significant changes and rearrangements needed

The term "solar plexus" is obsolete in medicine, replaced by "celiac plexus" or (less commonly) "celiac ganglion plexus." I think this entry and its associated redirects should be replaced with "Celiac ganglia" as the main entry, and redirects named Celiac Ganglia, Celiac ganglion, Solar plexus, Celiac plexus, etc.

There should also be cross-references to "autonomic nervous system," "autonomic ganglion" at the very least. There is a stub for "collateral ganglia" which is pointless, since hardly anyone calls them that. They're "prevertebral ganglia" or "sympathetic prevertebral ganglia" There should probably be a mention of the fact that most people mistakenly think the "solar plexus" is part of or just beneath inferior border of the sternum or xiphoid process, but it's actually back near the spinal cord.

If noone objects, I'll restructure this with minimal content editing, as a preliminary to expanding and rationalizing the content itself. I have some expertise with peripheral autonomic system anatomy.

Approximate exterior location

Where, on the outside of the body, is the solar plexus? Agent_Koopa 21:30, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
