The contractile action of the circular and lon=
=gitudinal fibres of the Bronchial tubes, and
of the capsules of the leaflets and lobules are
doubtless controuled by the operation of <u>one<\u>
cause, which influences them all and compels
them to act in unison with one another,
and not only so, but likewise causes them
to act in combination with the complicated
machinery of muscles, external to the <s>chest<\s>
lungs, which are occupied in the process
of respiration: and it is as clear as any
Physiological deduction can properly be, that
the nerves of the pulmonary plexus and more
particularly that part of it which appertains
to the vagus nerve are the agents whereby
the unanimity of the contractile actions,
necessary to accomplish the function of
mechanical breathing with its allied pheno=
