Nerve: Spermatic plexus
The celiac ganglia with the sympathetic plexuses of the abdominal viscera radiating from the ganglia. (Spermatic plexus labeled at right, third from the bottom.)
Latin	plexus testicularis, plexus spermaticus
Gray's	subject #220 987
From	renal plexus

The spermatic plexus (or testicular plexus) is derived from the renal plexus, receiving branches from the aortic plexus. It accompanies the internal spermatic artery to the testis.
