In a course in psychosomatic medicine medical students are being taught what the old family doctor practiced by instinct, good judgment, long experience, and knowledge of his patients. The student of today has one advantage over the older men, however, since research in anatomy and physiology has laid the foundations for placing the subject on a truly scientific basis. The autonomic nervous system unites the central nervous system, including the cerebral cortex, with the viscera into a functioning unit, i.e., an individual with personality and moods. There is a great need for a thorough understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the autonomic nervous system so that clinical application of the principles involved may be made to psychosomatic medicine as it relates to all branches of medical practice. This monograph is a summary of the isolated facts available from varied and scattered sources. While no new material has been recorded, the assembled facts have been correlated and arranged in such a way that the clinician will be able to use them in his practice.
