- Most available data suggest that the arterial underfilling is due to vasodilatation of the splanchnic circulation related to increased splanchnic production of vasodilator substances, particularly nitric oxide.
- vasodilatation of the splanchnic
- splanchnic circulation
- splanchnic vascular bed

Morphology
splanchnic = splanchn + ic
The element 'splanchn-' is a Greek combining form (not a standalone English word), so learners cannot transparently derive the meaning from familiar English base words even though '-ic' forms an adjective.
Etymology
Splanchnic comes from the Greek splanchnon, which means 'internal organs' or 'entrails'. That's why splanchnic describes things that belong to the body's inside organs, especially in the belly, such as nerves or blood vessels.
