58 OBSERVATIONS ON THE
Whilst I mention the above as the primary purposes which the struchire"
of the ganglia points out, I think it highly probable there may be other
yet latent purposes served by them.
S EC T. VIII.
As the heart and bowels of the abdomen are remarkable for the various
sources of their nerves, and for the number of ganglia through which these
are transmitted, and also for their extensive sympathy with other organs,
we seem to receive a confirmation of what I alledged above in Chap. XVII.
that the extent of the sympathy of our organs is in proportion to the num-
ber of connections their nerves have with different parts of the brain.

3. De reunir plusieurs petites fibres nerveuses en un gros nerf: Might have been nearly as well ex-
ecuted without ganglia as with them; and that they are magazines for furnishing cellular membranes
and coats to the nerves, as he contends, seems a frivolous hypothesis, not conne&ed with any appear-
ance in their texture.
That ganglia do not serve to render motions independent of our will, as an ingenious author has
supposed, is evident, without observing more than that all the branches of the fifth pair, and the po«
sterior half of all the spinal nerves of the voluntary muscles, pass through ganglia.
