The renal plexus is formed by filaments from the celiac ganglia and plexus, aorticorenal ganglia, lower thoracic splanchnic nerves and first lumbar splanchnic nerve and aortic plexus.[1]
The nerves from these sources, fifteen or twenty in number, have a few ganglia developed upon them.
It enters the kidneys on arterial branches to supply the vessels, Renal glomerulus, and tubules with branches to the ureteric plexus.[1] Some filaments are distributed to the spermatic plexus and, on the right side, to the inferior vena cava.
