Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together which of the following ganglia provides sympathetic innervation to the abdominal organs, including the stomach, liver, spleen, pancreas and kidneys. Is it answer choice? A celiac ganglia. Answer choice. B the superior cervical ganglia. Answer choice. C inferior mesenteric ganglia or answer choice D the elate ganglia. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following ganglia is the correct one. So in order to determine which of the falling ganglia provides that sympathetic innervation to the abdominal organs, we have to recall what each ganglia is responsible for innervating. And we know that the superior cervical ganglia provides sympathetic innervation to the structures of the head. The inferior mesenteric ganglia provides sympathetic innervation to the structures in the pelvic area. And the Stella ganglia provides sympathetic innervation to the structures in the upper limbs. And the celiac ganglia provides sympathetic innervation to the abdominal organs. So looking at our answer choices, we want to pick the answer choice that provides that sympathetic innervation to those abdominal organs. And we know that it is answer choice. A the celiac ganglia since the celiac ganglia is part of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system located in that abdominal region, providing the sympathetic innervation to those abdominal organs. Giving us the correct answer, which is answer choice. A I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
