Autonomic innervation of the midgut is from the superior mesenteric plexus.

The hindgut is innervated via the inferior mesenteric plexus.

The superior rectal plexus is a division of the inferior mesenteric plexus.

The inferior mesenteric plexus is derived chiefly from the aortic plexus.

Mesenteric plexus may refer to:

In the upper part of the superior mesenteric plexus close to the origin of the superior mesenteric artery is a ganglion, the superior mesenteric ganglion.

The superior mesenteric plexus is a continuation of the lower part of the celiac plexus, receiving a branch from the junction of the right vagus nerve with the plexus.

They travel to their corresponding side's inferior hypogastric plexus, where the preganglionic nervefibers make synapse with the postganglionic sympathetic nervefibers, that ascend to the superior hypogastric plexus, moves on to the aortic plexus and the inferior mesenteric plexus, where they are distributed to the canalis analis.
