The nerves are long, white, firm cord's composed of fasci- ctn.i, closely connected, and again divisible into F]Biuj,i,i£, which, may be subdivided to the utmost degree of minuteness. FORM OF THE NERVES. The nerves are not of a cylindrical, but of a conical form, the apex of each cone being turned to the Brain, and its base toward the extreme parts of the body. ORIGIN. The nerves are generally said to arise from the Ccrebrurh, Cerebellum, Medulla Oblongata, and Spinal Marroiv; those arising from the three former sources being termed cerebral, and those from the latter, spinal nerves. It would, how- ever, be more philosophical to consider the nerves as arising from the extreme parts of the body, and tenninatiug in the Krain. GANGLIA.
