Azygos System: Anterior/Posterior Vagal Trunks

This document provides an overview of the anatomy and vasculature of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anal canal. It describes the layers of each structure including mucosa, submucosa, and muscularis. It also details the arterial blood supply and venous drainage for each section of the gastrointestinal tract. Key structures like the pyloric sphincter and ileocecal valve are mentioned. Relevant innervation from the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems is outlined as well.
