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.

The ovarian plexus arises from the renal plexus, and is one of two sympathetic supplies distributed to the ovary and fundus of the uterus.
