Page 161 - The internal vesical ganglion then sends forward a large branch which terminates in the middle vesical ganglion. This ganglion sends off a great number of large nerves to the bladder. Some of these accompany the arteries, and can be seen ramifying with them upon the whole of the superior part of the organ, even to the fundus. Filaments of these nerves, scarcely visible to the naked eye, are seen ramifying upon the bundles of muscular fibres, occasionally forming loops, and inclosing them, or passing...
Page 178 - These dissections prove that the human uterus possesses a great system of nerves, which enlarges with the coats, blood-vessels, and absorbents, during pregnancy, and which returns after parturition to its original condition before conception takes place. It is chiefly by the influence of these nerves that the uterus performs the varied functions of menstruation, conception, and parturition, and it is solely by their means tiiat the whole fabric of the nervous system sympaAPPENDAGES OF THE UTERUS.
Page 162 - UTERUS. peritoneum of a gravid uterus of nine months, which had long been immersed in rectified spirit, Professor OWEN and Mr. KIERNAN were led to conclude that they were not nervous plexuses, but bands of elastic tissue. "The tissue of the broad, white, reticularly inter-communicating bands of fibrous matter resembling nerves of the uterus...

The right hypogastric ganglion. D. Nerves from the hypogastric nerve to the ganglia on the blood-vessels of the uterus. E. Ganglia surrounding the uterine artery and veins. F.

Page 178 - It is chiefly by the influence of these ganglia and nerves that the uterus performs the varied functions of menstruation, conception, and parturition, and it is solely by their means that the whole fabric of the nervous system sympathises with the different morbid affections of the uterus. If these...
Page 161 - ... between which and the hypogastric ganglion several large and some small branches pass. The author gives the following description of the vesical ganglia. The internal vesical ganglion, which usually has a flattened or long bulbous shape, is formed entirely upon the nerves which pass from the hypogastric ganglion, and run between the uterus and the ureter. It has an artery which passes through its centre. It first gives off a large branch to the ring of nerve or ganglion which surrounds the uterine...
Page 162 - These bands correspond in structure with the fibrous modification of cellular tissue. The component fibres did not form tubes, nor were their interspaces filled with the primitive granules or cells of the nervous tissue. " In the nerves of the spinal system, the primitive fibres of the neurilema, which closely resemble...
Page 161 - ... proceed from the hypogastric ganglion, and pass on the outside of the ureter. This is a small thin ganglion, the branches of which are sent immediately into the muscular coat of the bladder. It usually sends down a long branch to anastomose with the nerves and ganglia situated on the side of the vagina. From the inner surface of each hypogastric ganglion numerous small, white, soft nerves pass to the uterus, some of which ramify upon the muscular coat about the cervix, and others spread out under...
Page 165 - The artery of the right is injected, arid accompanies the nerve to the great ganglion at the cervix in which it terminates. I. The left hypogastric or great utero-cervical ganglion, with an artery passing into it near the centre. J. The third and other sacral nerves, sending numerous large branches into the posterior border of the ganglion, and the whole of its outer surface. K. The haemorrhoidal nerves accompanying the arteries to the rectum, and sending numerous branches to anastomose with nerves...
Page 163 - I found that it was impossible, with the most careful dissection, to detach any filament of nerve without including a quantity of cellular and elastic tissue ; so that although the tubular portion, indicating the nerve, was distinct, yet it was surrounded by innumerable extremely minute threads, coiled and contorted, such as one finds the component of elastic tissue, and the ultimate element of cellular membrane. Under slight pressure, however, the tube was plainly discernible, containing granular...
