Fibers are not present as yet either in the anlagenof the sympathetic trunks or in the communicating rami. Thesympathetic anlagen are essentially cellular. The cells areclosely aggregated and many of them present delicate protoplas-mic processes, or are included in small syncji;ia. These struc-tures are not very apparent in transverse sections, but in sagittalor frontal sections the anlagen of the sympathetic trunks presentthe appearance of a loose-meshed cellular mes. p/.a. -supr Fig, a.
