Abstract
The ganglions of the incercostal nerves, first discovered by Fallopius, are oblong and very hard bodies; the uses of which have not been satisfactorily ascertained by any one. Few anatomists have indeed entered deep into the subject, except the learned J. M. Lancisi, who imagined them muscles sui generis, and, like other muscles, capable of contractions; by which he thought the nervous spirits were acclerated and impelled with such additional forces, as re by him supposed necessary to the production of motions in muscles subject to the will: And in order to give an idea of the structure of all other ganglions, he particularly describes and delineates that of the first cervical ganglion.Keywords
