Abstract
Removal of the stellate ganglia sensitizes the central respiratory mechanism to vagus inhibition. After removal of the stellate ganglia, it is possible to produce a respiratory death by continuous strong stimulation of the central vagi, a result that is but rarely obtained in dogs with intact stellates unless the anesthesia is very deep (Mann, 1918). Low blood pressure is a contributory but not a primary factor. The stellate ganglia mediate impulses of functional importance in the regulation of the central respiratory mechanism.
