V.info@eco-vector.com151019272310105410600608202106082021Copyright © 1927, Larin V.V.1927<p>The antagonist nerves, which, when stimulated, produce opposite effects - inhibition or enhancement of cardiac activity, vasoconstriction or dilation, excitation or inhibition of reflexes - have long since attracted the attention of physiologists. The first attempt to explain the essence of the antagonistic action was made by Ewald Hering, who suggested that the difference in the irritation effect of antagonistic nerves depends on the difference in the processes occurring in their trunks. This idea, however, was not based on any definite data and is absolutely inconsistent with the firmly established modern ideas about the unity of the processes of excitation along the nerve.</p>Kazan Medical archiveКазанский медицинский архив
