A. atlan'tis, loop formed by branches of the first and second cervical nerves. A. capitis, zygomatic process. A. centrifuga'lis and A. centripetalis, terms given to the root fibres of a spinal nerve according to the direction they take to or from the centre. A. cervica'lis, loop formed by branches of the cervical nerves. A. coccyg'ea, a sacralis. A. haemosta'tica, loop used for acupress- ure. A. Hal'leri, communicating nerve between the facial and glossopharyngeal. A. Hen'lii, portion of uriniferous tubule. A. hypoglos'si, communication between the hypoglossal nerve and the second and third cervical'nerves. A. intergenicula'ris, band of fibres connecting geniculate bodies. A. intes- tina'lis, loop or portion of intestine supported by the mesentery and describing a curved line. A. lenticula 'ris or lentifor'mis, loop of fibres passing outward beneath the thalamus and entering the lenticular nucleus. A. lumba'lis, loop formed by branches of the lumbar nerves. A. peduncula'ris, substantia innominata. A. Reil'lei, lemniscus. A. sacralis, loop between the sacral nerves. A. sub- clavia lis or A. Vieussen'ii, nervous branches passing from the lower cervical ganglion of the great sym- pathetic to the first dorsal ganglion in front of the subclavian artery, forming a loop around the vessel called after Yieussens, and supplying it with offsets. A. Wrisber'gii, loop of communication between the right sympathetic and the pneumogastric; also a loop between the phrenic and deseendens noni branch of the hj-poglossal. Ansa'tus.

Opposed action, as of muscles acting in contrary directions, or of drugs which exert contrary effects. Antagonism of drugs may be chemical or physio- logical; often, but not always, a drug is antidotal to the poisonous effects of its antagonist; but, on the other hand, a drug which is antidotal to another is not necessarily antagonistic to it; thus potassium permanganate is antidotal to morphine, but is not antagonistic to it in its action in the economy. The following list exhibits the most striking illustrations of antagonism (Brunton): Drug. Antagonist. r Atropine, Aconitine \ Digitalin, I Strychnine. Alcohol Strychnine. Ammonium chloride Chloral.
