In many localities there are isolated ganglion cells 

 in connection with the intermuscular fibres. 



159. The nerves of blood-vessels are derived 

 from the sympathetic, and they terminate in arteries 

 and veins in essentially the same way as in non- 

 striped muscular tissue, being chiefly present in those

parts (media) which contain the non-striped muscular 

 tissue. But there are also fine non-medullated nerve 

 fibres, which accompany capillary vessels capillary 

 arteries and capillary veins and in some places they 

 give off elementary fibrils, which forma network around 

 the vessel (Fig. 77). In some localities the vascular 

 nerve branches are provided with small groups of 

 ganglion cells. 



160. In striped muscle of man and mammals, 

 reptiles, and insects, the termination of nerve fibres 

 takes place, according to the commonly accepted view 

 of Kiihne, in the following manner : A medullated
