Esophageal plexus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The esophageal plexus (oesophageal plexus in British-English) is formed by nerve fibers from two sources, branches of the vagus nerve,[1][2] and visceral branches of the sympathetic trunk.[3][4] The esophageal plexus and the cardiac plexus contain the same types of fibers and are both considered thoracic autonomic plexus.
