Termination of the nasal nerve (fig. 9). After the nei've becomes 

 cutaneous on the side of the nose, as seen in the dissection of the facial 

 nerve (p. 47), it descends beneath the compressor naris muscle, and ends 

 in the integuments of the wing and tip of the nose. 



The OPHTHALMIC or LENTICULAR GANGLION of the sympathetic nerve 

 (h'g. 11, 3 ) is a small round body, of the size of a pin's head, and of a 

 slight red color. It is placed at the back of the orbit between the optic 

 nerve and the external rectus, and commonly on the outer side of, and 

 close to the ophthalmic artery. By its posterior part the ganglion has 

 branches of communication with other nerves (its roots) ; and from the 

 anterior part proceed the ciliary nerves to the eyeball. The ganglion 

 communicates with sensory, motory, and sympathetic nerves. 



The offsets of communication are three in number. One, the long 

 root ( 5 ), is the branch of the nasal nerve before noticed, which joins the
