History and etymology
The term derives from {{langx|grc|σπλαγχνικός|splanchnikos}}, meaning "inward parts,{{LSJ|splagxniko/s|σπλαγχνικός}}, {{LSJ|spla/gxnon|σπλάγχνον|ref}}.{{OEtymD|splanchnic}} organs".{{UMichAnatomyModule|intro_autonomics_2_module/autonomics_04|Autonomics of the Head and Neck - Page 4 of 14}}
The term "splanchnologia" is used for grouping in Nomina Anatomica,{{Cite journal |doi=10.1136/jamia.1998.0050017 |pmid=9452983 |pmc=61273 |title=Motivation and Organizational Principles for Anatomical Knowledge Representation: The Digital Anatomist Symbolic Knowledge Base |journal=Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association |volume=5 |issue=1 |pages=17–40 |year=1998 |last1=Rosse |first1=C. |last2=Mejino |first2=J. L. |last3=Modayur |first3=B. R. |last4=Jakobovits |first4=R. |last5=Hinshaw |first5=K. P. |last6=Brinkley |first6=J. F. }} but not in Terminologia Anatomica. It includes most of the structures usually considered "internal organs", but not all (for example, the heart is excluded).
