Some physiologists believe that they presideover the involuntary functions, as absorption, secretion, nutri-tion, &c. Others suppose the office of the ganglions is torender organs which are supplied with nerves from them,independent of the will. Every part of the body must, to acertain extent, be under their influence, as filaments from thiasystem of nerves, accompany the blood-vessels throughouttheir course.
