About Fine Vascularization of Prevertebral Nodes of the Sympathic Nervous System

Abstract

The works of Russian scientists, based on the materialistic ideas of nervousism, have shown the great importance of various parts of the nervous system for the course of many, both physiological and pathological processes. A clear evidence of the importance of the sympathetic nervous system can be the widespread use in clinical practice of the method of novocaine blockades, proposed and developed by A.V. Vishnevsky, his students and followers, when the anesthetic solution, spreading over loose tissue, washes the nerve plexuses and nodes lying along the trunks large vessels (g. celiacum, pl. renalis, suprarenalis, nn splanchnic, etc.), interrupts the impulses coming from internal organs and tissues to the central nervous system and back, thereby positively affecting metabolic processes, excitability and tissue trophism. The study of the blood supply to the sympathetic plexuses and nodes is also of particular importance in connection with the recognition of the participation of the secret of their chromaffin tissue in the formation of adrenaline and the mediator of the sympathetic nervous system sympathetic.
