CHAPTER XVI. 



PHYSIOLOGICAL DIVISIONS, STRUCTURE AND GENERAL PROPERTIES OF THE 



NERVOUS SYSTEM. 



Divisions and structure of the nervous tissue Medullated nerve-fibres Simple, or non-mednllated 

 nerve-fibres Gelatinous nerve-fibres (fibres of Remak) Accessory anatomical elements of the 

 nerves Termination of the nerves in the muscular tissue Termination of the nerves in glands 

 Modes of termination of the sensory nerves Corpuscles of Vater, or of Pacini Tactile corpuscles 

 End-bulbs Structure of the nerve-centres Nerve-cells Connection of the cells with the fibres 

 and with each other Accessory anatomical elements of the nerve-centres Composition of the 

 nervous substance Degeneration and regeneration of the nerves Motor and sensory nerves Mode 

 of action of the motor nerves Associated movements Mode of action of the sensory nerves 

 Physiological differences between motor and sensory nerve-fibres Nervous excitability Different 

 means employed for exciting the nerves Rapidity of nervous conduction Personal equation- 

 Action of electricity npon the nerves Law of contraction Induced muscular contraction Electro- 

 tonus, anelectrotonus and catelectrotonus Negative variation 505

 ments of the iris Patheticus, or trochlearis (fourth nerve) Physiological anatomy Properties and 

 uses Motor oculi externus, or abducens (sixth nerve) Physiological anatomy Properties and uses

 and uses Facial, or nerve of expression (seventh nerve) Physiological Anatomy Intermediary 

 nerve of Wrisberg Alternate paralysis General properties Uses of the chorda tympani Influence 

 of various branches of the facial npon the movements of the palate and uvula Spinal accessory 

 (eleventh nerve) Physiological anatomy Uses of the internal branch from the spinal accessory to 

 the pneumogastric Influence of the spinal accessory upon the heart Uses of the external, or mus- 

 cular branch of the spinal accessory Sublingiial, or hypoglossal (twelfth nerve) Physiological 

 anatomy Properties and uses Trifacial, or trigeminal (fifth nerve) Physiological anatomy Prop- 

 erties and uses Pneumogastric (tenth nerve) Physiological anatomy Properties and uses Gen- 

 eral properties of the roots Properties and uses of the auricular nerves Properties and uses of the 

 pharyngeal nerves Properties and uses of the superior laryngeal nerves Properties and uses of the 

 inferior, or recurrent laryngeal nerves Properties and uses of the cardiac nerves Depressor-nerve 

 of the circulation Properties and uses of the pulmonary nerves Properties and uses of the oeso- 

 phageal nerves Properties and uses of the abdominal nerves 539
