i26 EXPLANATION OF THE TABLES.
■
TABLE XL
|~N this table are represented, in a man, (after cutting off
the bodies of the dorsal vertebrae) the strucTure of the sur-
face'of the spinal marrow, the rise of the anterior and poste-
rior bundles of the dorsal nerves, a ganglion in the posterior
bundle, and the connection of the two bundles with each o-
ther, and with the great sympathetic nerve.
AB Represents the spinal marrow covered with its membranes.
2, 3", 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, io, Represent the second, third, &c, ribs, with the
corresponding dorsal nerves.
CDEFG The great sympathetic nerve on the left side. DE The sympa-
thetic nerve cut across, and its ends turned alide. F The ramus splanch-
nicus. G The continuation of the trunk of the sympathetic nerve.
HH The cellular and fatty substance on the outer side of the dura mater.
I The inner side of the dura mater which is here cut and turned back.
K The pia mater, with the principal anterior artery of the spinal marrow
running upon it.
L Plicae or joints in the spinal marrow, by which it may be elongated with-
out being lacerated.
M Part of the substance called ligamentum denticulatum.
N The anterior branch of the fifth dorsal nerve beginning by several
bundles of fibres.
O The posterior spinal branch of the fifth dorsal nerve. The anterior and
posterior bundles of the spinal nerves pass through different holes of the
dura mater, and each receives, from its inner layer, a thin sheath. The
two cords are tied together and covered by the cellular substance on the
outride of the dura mater condensed, so that they seem to form one cord.
