一.最早关于植物性神经系统的记载,见于第二世纪中加伦(Galen)的著作。加伦对脊旁交感神经链和颈上、颈下、半月等神经节作了描写,但是加伦把交感神经干和迷走神经干误认为是一个结构,是从头骨里面发出来的。另外加伦也开始注意到去神经的心脏能够保持其搏动的能力。十六世纪中,解剖学家维萨利阿斯(Vesalius)改正了许多古代解剖学家、对于人体结构的误解,通过解剖作出交感神经节链和一些重要神经丛的图解。但是由于加伦的概念,根深蒂固,维萨利阿斯将迷走交感于绘成从脑干发出。迷走神经和交感神经的区分是稍后由司蒂芬鄂斯(Stephanos)和游斯达氏(Eustachius)先后提出的。 One of the earliest records of autonomic nervous system is found in the writings of Galen in the second century. Gallen described the paraspinal sympathetic chain and the ganglion, neck, half moon and other ganglia, but Gallen misinterpreted the sympathetic and vagal stems as a structure emanating from the skull. In addition, Gallen also began to notice the ability of the denervated heart to maintain its pulsation. In the 16th century, the anatomist Vesalius corrected many of the ancient anatomists’ misunderstandings of human structures by anatomically mapping the sympathetic ganglia and some of the important plexuses. However, due to the concept of Garron, entrenched, Visalias will be vagrant sympathetic painted in the brainstem. The distinction between the vagus nerve and the sympathetic nerve was later proposed by Stephanos and Eustachius.
