AFFERENT FIBRES OF THE STELLATE GANGLION

developmental study of the cervicothoracic (stellate) ganglion in ovine fetus

sheep as an experimental animal has been used in many veterinary researches. the developmental study of the ovine cervicothoracic ganglion in the fetal stages will reveal the anatomy of the sympathetic nervous system in the adult sheep and morphological and morphometrical relation between this ganglion and surrounding structures. the aim of this research was to follow morphological and morphome...

Contractions of the squid stellate ganglion.

Optical recording methods were used to characterize the intrinsic movements of squid stellate ganglia. Ganglionic contractions were rhythmic and occurred at a mean frequency of 8 min-1. Contractions were eliminated when Na+ in the external saline were replaced by Tris, but were only slowed when Na+ was replaced by sucrose. This suggests that Na+ plays some role in generating the contractions, b...

Stellate ganglion block in glaucoma.

The anatomical approach in stellate ganglion injection.

T H E sympathetic outflow to the head and neck and the greater part of that to the upper limbs passes on each side through the relatively small confines of the stellate ganglion and is here subject to interruption by stellate ganglion block. This block will cut off all efferent sympathetic impulses to the head and neck and most, if not all, of those to the upper limb and may be of value for exa...

The Divisional Organization of Afferent Fibres of the Trigeminal Nerve.

DURING evoked-potential studies of the projection of the three divisions. of the trigeminal nerve on the corresponding spinal tract and nucleus (to be reported elsewhere), the writer was disconcerted by certain observations, which appeared to be at variance with the classical conception of the organization of the trigeminal system. The early observation of Harrison and Corbin (1942) and of McKi...
