uses, fibres pass from the prevertebral chain of ganglia, aswell as from cerebro-spinal nerves. (3) Various ganglia andplexuses in the substance of many of the viscera, as in theStomach, Intestines, and Urinary bladder. These, which are, forthe most part, microscopic, also freely communicate with otherparts of the sympathetic system, as well as, to some extent, withthe cerebro-spinal. (4) By many, the ganglia on the Posteriorroots of the spinal nerves, on the Glossopharyngeal and Vagus, andon the Sensory root of the Fifth cerebral nerve (Gasserian ganglion),are also included as sympathetic-nerve structures. Classification.—Gaskells researches have suggested a convenientclassification for the sympathetic ganglia into : (1.) The mainsympathetic chain, extending from above downwards, in the formof connected ganglia lying upon the bodies of the vertebrae, whichmay be called lateral or vertebral ganglia. (2.) A more or lessdistinct chain, prevertebral in position, consisting of the semi-
