But if a Centre is responsible for the proper control of aMuscle, its condition must in all reason be constantly madeknown to the Centre. This requires an inward acting con-nection between the Centres and their related Muscles ; thatis, a double set of nerves are needed between the Centresand their Muscles. (By the way, how the nerves act or what they conduct,no one as yet knows. That which acts through them is * These are the general names used herein for the general action of Gang-lia and of Nerves. It is a matter of great surprise that no general name hasbeen long ago applied where one is so necessary and so useful in aiding thephysiologist to develop his thoughts upon this subject. Fig. 12. Fig. 12 is an ideal plan of the brains, cord and their nerves, as they wouldappear looking through the Body, supposing it to be transparent, and no otherparts to be seen. It represents the Volitory Cranio-Spinal Nervous System. 84 named Nervous influence, which is indefinite enough not tobe wrong ; that which acts from the Centres is namedMotory because it induces Motion, and that which acts in-wardly or upon or into the centres, is usually named Sensai-ory, because it sometimes, or even often, induces the fact is that in a large majority of cases the inwardacting influence produces its proper effects without inducingeither sensation or consciousness. Hence the name Sensat-ory influence in this connection is usually a misnomer. Thisinfluence inward without causing sensation, but inducing in-fluence outward causing motion, is named exciio-molory.)
