Description:

Explanation of plate V (figs. 1-6):

'Fig. 1. Spinal root-ganglion fibres in a large branch of the hamstrilng nerve to the medial hamstring muiscles (Monkey). Fifty-two days degeneration allowed after section of the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th post-thoracic ventral and dorsal spinal roots, the latter cut proximal to their ganglia.

Fig. 2. Spinal root-ganglion fibres in a branch to tibialis posticus and flexor digitorum longus (Cat), 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th post-thoracic ventral aind dorsal spinal roots severed, the latter proximal to ganglia. Forty-nine days degeneration allowed.

Fig. 3. Spinal root ganglion fibres in a branch from hamstring nerve to biceps femoris; fifty-eight days after section of 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th postthoracic venltral and dorsal spinal roots, the latter proximal to ganglia. A small nerve-twig to left hand consists only of large root-ganglion fibres.

Fig. 4. Twig from "kneejerk" nerve (vastus medialis). All except root-ganglion fibres removed by forty-two days degeneration. A smaller twig, shows very little sclerosis and contains large and small myelinate fibres.

Fig. 5. Twig to femoralis, normal (Monkey). 

Fig. 6. Corresponding opposite nerve from same monkey; spinal rootganglion fibres alone left. 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th post-thoracic ventral and dorsal spinal roots cut, the latter proximal to ganglia. Fifty-four days degeneration allowed.' (256-257)
