The densities of ganglia and nerve cells in the myenteric plexus of the last distal 11 cm of the human esophagus were determined in 6 esophagi from autopsy material. The densities of ganglia and nerve cells in cresyl violet-stained stretch preparations of 11 esophageal segments, each 1 cm in length, were compared. The highest values were recorded in segments 4, 5, and 6 cm above cardiac incisura. The lowest densities of ganglia and nerve cells were found in segments 1, 2, and 3 cm above the cardiac incisura. The segments contained 659 to 3,316 perikarya/cm2 and 31 to 110 ganglia/cm2; ganglia contained 3 to 310 cells.
