Nerven des Ösophagus

The video tutorial provides an in-depth exploration of the nerves associated with the esophagus, including the intercostal nerves, vagus nerve, recurrent laryngeal nerves, and the sympathetic trunk. It covers the anatomy, function, and clinical significance of these nerves, as well as their roles in the respiratory and digestive systems. The tutorial also discusses the gastric and esophageal plexuses, highlighting their contributions to the innervation of the stomach and esophagus.
