A. E. Shcherbak. He believed that the cervical autonomic apparatus consists of the autonomic nuclei of all cervical and two upper thoracic segments of the spinal cord, the trunk of the cervical sympathetic nerve, cervical sympathetic ganglia, periarterial autonomic plexuses of the carotid and vertebral arteries. This also includes the autonomic nuclei of the vagus nerve with their peripheral nodes and branches in the neck, as well as our communicantes albi et grisei, representing the centripetal and centrifugal connections of the spinal cord with the cervical ganglia.</p>Kazan Medical archiveКазанский медицинский архив
