Fig. 58. Dorsal view of the central nervous system, to show the grooves (G.P.B. and G.V.P.) separating the visceral, pedal and brachial ganglia, and also the relations of the branches of the cephalic artery (CE.A.) to the brain. The right half of the cerebral ganglion has been removed, and the membrane lining the peri-oesophageal blood sinus, which passes through the brain, has been stripped away. The left optic ganglion (C.O.G.) is shown in section.
