Intercostal v a n

The video tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of the intercostal structures within the thoracic cavity, including veins, arteries, and nerves. It explains the topography, origin, course, and anastomosis of intercostal veins and arteries, as well as the motor and sensory distribution of intercostal nerves. The tutorial also covers the azygos system of veins and the internal thoracic vein, highlighting their roles in blood drainage. Additionally, it describes the segmental supply of intercostal arteries and the innervation provided by intercostal nerves.
