NERVOUS SYSTEM 



FIG. 1. VENTRAL CHAIN of 13 GANGLIA united by commissures 



Cerebral or supra-cesophageal ganglia anterior to gullet, giving off optic nerves. 

 Circum-O3sophageal commissures round gullet. 

 Sub-cesophageal ganglia posterior to gullet. 



5 Eemaining thoracic ganglia, united to one another by double nerve-cords. 

 G Abdominal ganglia, united to one another by single nerve-cords. 



Note. The numbers attached to ganglia denote the cephalic, thoracic, or abdominal segments to which they belong. 

 FIG. 2. VISCERAL NERVES in Elevation and Plan- 

 Nerves arising from 



Cerebral ganglia A'zygos median, and branching posteriorly to form lateral azygos.

 DIAO. 2. FORMATION OP THE VERTEBRATE EYE 



a. Optic vesicle, a hollow process of the brain, involution of integument meeting it and pushing 



it in. 



b. Crystalline lens, a detached portion of thickened integument. 



c. Retina, the wall of the doubled-up optic vesicle nearest the lens (red). 

 Choroid, the wall nearest the brain (blue). 



Rod and cono layer of retina embedded in the choroid by obliteration of the cavity between.

 FIG. 7. SECTION THROTTGH AUDITORY SAO 

 Auditory opening. 

 Sac, an involution of the integument lined by hairlike filaments and containing fluid and grains 



of sand. 



Auditory nerve from cerebral ganglia.
