A great number of branches from the sympathetic also in-fluence the stomach, and their connection with the spinalnerves make impingement of such spinal nerves an importantfactor in the production of various gastric disorders. 2. The upper cervical spinal nerves influence the stomachand other organs of the abdomen by their communicationwith the vagus. Any impingement of these nerves will, there-fore, interfere with the action of those parts supplied by thevagus. 3. The fourth cervical spinal nerves, by forming in con-nection with the third and fifth cervicals the phrenicnerves, influence the stomach. The phrenics enter into theformation of the solar plexus. 4. The fifth, sixth and seventh pairs of thoracic spinalnerves have the most marked influence on the stomach. These 148 SPINAL ADJUSTMENT. Fig. 29. Parts Influenced by the EleventhDorsal Nerve. ORGANS OF THE ABDOMEN 149 nerves form the great splanchnic nerves, which terminatein the semilunar ganglion, a portion of the solai plexus. 5. The tenth and eleventh thoracic spinal nerves have aninfluence on the stomach. These nerves communicate withthe corresponding ganglia of the gangliated cord, which inturn form the lesser splanchnic nerves which, together witha filament from the right vagus nerve, communicate with theceliac plexus. This plexus is a direct continuation of thesolar plexus, and gives off the gastric plexus which accom-panies the gastric artery along the lesser curvature of thestomach and joins with branches from the left vagus nerve. 6. The first and second lumbar nerves, by communicat-ing with the terminal fibres of the vagus nerve, directly influ-ence the stomach. It is for this reason that we find nauseaand vomiting in p
