Fig. 70. Schematic representation of the innervation of the heart of the mammal. The red 

 continuous lines represent the sympathetic (accelerator) preganglionic fibers, and the broken red 

 lines, their postganglionic fibers. The cell stations are in the inferior cervical and stellate ganglia, 

 some extending up to the superior cervical ganglion. The green continuous lines represent the 

 vagus preganglionic fibers, and the broken green lines, their postganglionic fibers. The cell stations 

 in this case are located in the heart itself. It will be observed that electrodes applied to the so- 

 called vagus low down in the neck may stimulate some sympathetic fibers. (From Jackson.)
