AB  - Eight adult donkeys of both sexes, used in applied anatomy classes, constituted the material of the study. The greater splanchnic nerve (<I>N. splanchnicus</I> major) was determined to ramify from the truncus sympathicus from the space between the 13th thoracic sympathetic ganglion and the 17-18th thoracic interganglionic connection on the right side and the space between the 12-13th thoracic interganglionic connection and the 16-17th thoracic interganglionic connection on the left side. The lesser splanchnic nerve (<I>N. splanchnicus</I> minor) was determined to be formed by fibres originating from the 14-15th thoracic interganglionic   connection  and  the  17-18th  thoracic  interganglionic  connection on the right side and the 13-14th  thoracic  interganglionic  connection,  the  15-16th  thoracic interganglionic connection and  the 17th thoracic sympathetic ganglion on the left side. The lesser splanchnic nerve (<I>N. splanchnicus</I> minor) was determined  not  to  exist  on  the  right  side  in  one  of the materials examined.  The  lowest  splanchnic  nerve (<I>N. splanchnicus</I> imus) was demonstrated to exist on the right side in 4 (50%) and on the left side in 3 (37.5%) of the 8 materials examined. The thoracic splanchnic nerves were determined to give off branches to the suprarenal gland (glandula suprarenalis), behind the diaphragm and to extend  to  the  celiac  ganglion (<I>ganglion celiaca</I>). No marked difference was observed between the right and left sides.
