Abstract
mechanism, each may have its distinct effector mechanism ending, the one perhaps on skin cell and the other perhaps on arteriole. These possibilities are all in accord with the facts as these are known, and we should be justified, therefore, in regarding the two series of nerve paths as separate. The general conception would be similar to that which we take in the case of pilomotor and sudorific nerves. Here also are two series of nerves following similar branching axonic paths in the skin; but they arise differently, end in connexion with different cells, and produce for that reason dissimilar effects; but both belong to the same general system, the system of sympathetic nerves.
