Neural anatomy of the thorax features nerves that innervate the thoracic wall, organs, and diaphragm. The phrenic nerve, arising from the cervical plexus, controls the diaphragm. The intercostal nerves, derived from the thoracic spinal nerves, supply the intercostal muscles and skin of the thoracic wall. The vagus nerve and sympathetic trunk are crucial for autonomic regulation of thoracic organs. Detailed 3D visualizations trace the paths of these nerves, emphasizing their functions and potential clinical implications.
