Organic and functional nervous diseases; a text-book of neurology . Large pluripolar ganglion cell of the ventral paramedian field of the abdominal cord of primitive fibril is seen on its way to a ganglion cell becoming thinner, owing to the emission of theside fibrils. A very complicated intracellular reticulum of neuro-fibrils is to be made out in the forma-tion of which the primitive fibrils of all the processes take part, kk, nucleolus; k, nucleus, a and /3are processes containing one primitive fibril in each, which arriving in the cell body split up intoseveral bifurcating neuro-fibrils. The primitive fibril in a can be followed for a very long distance,being thicker at a distance from the cell. The coarse longitudinal processes y and & contain a largenumber of primitive fibrils which, as far as they can be followed, do not unite to one fibril. (After , Mitth. aus der zool.

They werefirst demonstrated by Apathy in worms and have been more fully des-cribed in the hmnau neurone by Ramon y Cajal. (See Fig. 2.) Itis supposed that the dendrites collect and transmit nervous impulses tothe cell body ; and as they are niunerous and long it is evident thatimpulses from many sources may reach any one cell body. The axone or axis-cylinder process of the neurone is a single, long Fig. 4.
