Excerpt from Vagotonia: A Clinical Study in Vegetative NeurologyThe uniformity of the anatomic arrangement of the vegetative system foreshadows a uniform pharmacologic reaction, and it is this pharmacologic uniformity which has made possible the sepa ration of the' vegetative from the sensori-motor nervous system. If vegetative nerves are stimulated peripheral to their origin in the central gray of the cord, definite manifestations are obtained. These may be eliminated at once if nicotine is painted upon the ganglion between the site Of stimulation and the periphery. The functional manifestations of the activity of the sensori-motor nerves are on the contrary unaffected by nicotine.The vegetative nervous system may be divided anatomically as well as functionally. The system of fibers which arises from the middle part of the thoracic cord and from the upper part of the lumbar cord forms an anatomical entity, which ramifying distally makes up the sympathetic cord. Distal to this it is scarcely possible to distinguish the sympathetic fibers anatomic ally, since they pass to their substations commingled with other nerve fibers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
