THE NEEVES OF THE STOMACH OF THE CKANE. 



(AEDEA CINEEEA.) 



AFTEE the par vagum has given numerous branches to the trachea and lungs, 

 and the large vessels of the heart, it sends off the recurrent on each side to give 

 branches to the oesophagus, to the lower larynx and its muscles ; it then sends a 

 branch downwards on each side of the stomach ; the rest of each trunk becomes joined 

 in front of the oesophagus, passes on the stomach as far as the cardiac extremity, and 

 sends filaments to communicate with branches of the splanchnic nerve as well as the 

 one passing on the coeliac artery. 



1. Right trunk of the par vagum. 



2. Recurrent branch of the same.
