    TABLE Effects of stimulating the mid-brain, bulbar and sacral para-sympathetic fibres. Mid-brain Contraction of iris. Contraction of ciliary muscle. Bulbar Inhibition of heart, and of vessels of mucous membranes of head. Motor and inhibitory effects on smooth musculature of oeso¬ phagus and cardiac half of stomach. Motor effects on smooth muscula¬ ture of rest of gut down to descending colon. Motor effects on muscles of trachea and bronchi. Secretion of gastric glands and pancreas. Sacral Inhibition of arteries of rectum, anus, and external generative organs. Contraction of smooth muscula¬ ture of descending colon, and rectum. Inhibition of smooth muscles of anus. Contraction of bladder. Inhibition (? contraction) of ure¬ thra. Inhibition of muscles of external generative organs. I Contrasted effects of stimulating the corresponding sympathetic nerves. Contraction of dilator of iris. Contraction of unstriated orbital muscle. Contraction of arteries of eye. Acceleration of heart and con¬ traction of blood-vessels in mucous membranes of head.
