What is an "autonomic plexus"?
An autonomic plexus is a network of nerves that forms intricate connections within the autonomic nervous system. It consists of a complex arrangement of nerve fibers and ganglia, allowing for the transmission of signals and coordination of involuntary functions in various regions of the body. The autonomic plexus plays a crucial role in regulating processes such as heart rate, digestion, respiration, and glandular secretion.
