Nerves.—The nerves of a voluntary muscle are of considerable branches pass between the fascicuh, and repeatedly unite witheach other in form of a plexus, which is for the most part confined toa small part of the length of the muscle, or muscular division in whichit hes. From one or more of such primary plexuses, nervous twigsproceed, and form finer plexuses composed of slender bundles, each con-taining not more than two or three dark-bordered nerve-fibres, whencesingle fibres pass off between the muscular fibres and divide into.
