== Terminology== The celiac plexus is often popularly referred to as the solar plexus. In the context of sparring or injury, a strike to the region of the stomach around the celiac plexus is commonly called a blow "to the solar plexus". In this case it is not the celiac plexus itself being referred to, but rather the region around it.{{Citation needed|date=September 2022}} A blow to this region may cause the diaphragm to spasm, resulting in difficulty in breathing—a sensation commonly known as "[[getting the wind knocked out of you]]". It may also affect the celiac plexus itself, which can cause great pain and interfere with the functioning of the [[viscera]].
