Injuries to nerves in relation to the organs of muscle sense, in which is included an account of the sensory nerve endings in muscle

Abstract

This Thesis consists cf two Volumes, the second one of which contains only Drawings and Photographs illustrating the subject matter detailed in Volume I.The first Volume consists cf five parts. The first part is a short general account of the results of Nervs Injury illustrated by five cases, for the use of which I am indebted to Dr. Alexander Bruce.The second part is an account cf the Sensory Nerve Endings in Muscle which is a mere prepara- tion for the third part which includes an Experimental Investigation into socle of the results of. Nerve Injury in the nerve and in the muscle supplied by the nerve.Part four is very short and includes only an account of a case where there were pathological changes in the Muscle Spindles - the organs of. Muscl Sense. The case is important on account of the rarity of the degeneration described.The last part of Volume I. contains the details of the Methods of Investigation employed and an indication of the scope of the work.
