Plexus

In anatomy, a plexus (from the Latin term for 'braid') is a branching network of blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, or nerves. The nerves are typically axons outside the central nervous system.

The standard plural form in English is plexuses.[1][2][3] Alternatively, the Latin plural plexūs may be used.
