With these may be included thesmall ganglia in connection with those branches of the fifth cerebral nervewhich are distributed in the neighborhood of the organs of special sense,namely, the ophthalmic, otic, sphenopalatine, and submaxillary ganglia.2, Various ganglia and plexuses of nerve fibers which give off branches to thethoracic and abdominal viscera, the chief of such plexuses being the cardiac, 592 THE NERVOUS SYSTEM solar, and hypogastric; but in intimate connection with these are manysecondary plexuses, as the aortic, spermatic, and renal.

The connections between these parts are as follows: 1, The visceralbranch or white ramus, of certain spinal nerves, which passes into the lateralchain. 2, The gray rami consist of bundles of fibers, usually non-medullated,which pass from the chain ganglia back into the spinal or cranial nerves, the ORGANIZATION AM) DISTRIBUTION m fibers of which they accompany to the periphery. 3, From this chain therami efferentes pass into the collateral ganglia, and from these again otherbranches pass off into the organs, to end in the terminal ganglia.
