Gangliated Cord of the Sympathetic (pars thoracicalis nervi sympathici).—This extends downwards through the thoracic cavity upon the heads of the ribs and the interven- ing intercostal spaces, and has an appearance somewhat similar to that of a knotted string. The thoracic ganglia are Fig. 43.—Schema of the Branching of the Two Bronchi. (From Gegenbaur.) /'. Pulmonary artery Dorsal divi.sions of the bronchi; v. Ventral divisions of the bronchi. The highest 71 on each side indicates the first hyparterial bronchus, or, in other words, the branch to the upper lobe of the left side and the middle lobe on the right side. usually eleven in number. For the most part these lie on the heads of the ribs, but the first is placed over the inner part of the first intercostal space. Towards the diaphragm the cord inclines forward, so that one or two of the lower ganglia come to lie upon the bodies of the dorsal vertebrae. The first ganglion is considerably larger than those which succeed it. They are all Hnked together by intervening nerve cords. Superiorly, the thoracic part of the sympathetic is
