Truncus vagalis anterior

The anterior vagal trunk is a branch of the vagus nerve which contributes to the esophageal plexus. It consists primarily of fibers from the left vagus, but also contains a few fibers from the right vagus nerve.

Branches

  • Hepatic branch which supply the liver.
  • Celiac branch which are small branches which provide parasympathetic innervation to the celiac plexus.
  • Anterior gastric branches which supply the stomach.
