THE GKEAT SYMPATHETIC. 



imposing but mysterious epithet, which has been a source of injury to 

 the science, and which it would be well even now to replace by such a 

 term as vincular or moniliform nerve, or some title of equivalent import. 



ILLUSTRATION OF THE GREAT SYMPATHETIC. 



Fig - m ' Fig. 176: 1, globe of the eye, 



dissected so as to show the ciliary 

 nerves ; 2, branch of the inferior ob- 

 lique and the motor root of the oph- 

 thalmic ganglion ; 3, 3, 3, the three 

 branches of the trifacial, in connec- 

 tion with most of the cranial gan- 

 glia, that is, with, 4, ophthalmic gan- 

 glion, 5, spheno-palatine, 6, otic, 7, 

 submaxillary, and, 8, sublingual ; 

 9, external motor oculi; 10, facial 

 and its anastomoses with the sphe- 

 no-palatine and otic ganglia ; 11, 

 glosso - pharyngeal ; 12, 12, right 

 pneumogastric ; 13, left pneumo- 

 gastric; 14, spinal; 15, hypoglos- 

 sal; 16, 16, cervical plexus; 17, 

 brachial plexus ; 18, 18, intercostal 

 nerves ; 19, 19, lumbar plexus ; 

 20, sacral plexus ; 21, superior cer- 

 vical ganglion, furnishing two caro- 

 tid branches, forming the carotid 

 plexus around the artery of that 

 name, and from which arise the 

 anastomoses with, 22, nerve of Ja- 

 cobson, 23, carotid branch of vid- 

 ian nerve, 24, external motor oc- 

 uli, 25, ophthalmic ganglion ; 26, 

 twig for the pituitary gland; 27, 

 anastomosis of superior cervical 

 ganglion with the first cervical 

 pairs ; 28, carotid and" pharyngeal 

 branches ; 29, pharyngeal and in- 

 tercarotid plexus ; 30, laryngeal 

 branch, anastomosed with the external laryngeal of the pneumogastric ; 

 31, superior cardiac nerve ; 32, strands of junction of the superior cervi- 

 cal ganglion with, 33, middle cervical ganglion : among the internal 

 branches of the latter are, 34, the anastomotic with, 35, the recurrent 



The great sympathetic nerve.
