The spinal accessory sendsnumerous twigs to the sterno-mastoid in its passage through thatmuscle, and in the trapezius the nervous filaments may be traceddownwards to its lower border. SPINAL ACCESSORY NERVE. 455 The pneumogastric and spinal accessory nerves togetlier (nervusvagus cum accessorio) resemble a spinal nerve, of wluch the formerwith its ganglion is the posterior and sensitive root, the latter theanterior and motor root.
