某一内脏有病

常在躯体的一定部位有所反应。而针灸躯体穴位时

对内脏疾病有较好的疗效。因而

祖国医学认为

躯体与内脏之间

存在一种特殊的关联

即所谓“躯体与内脏相关”的学说。本实验从神经学角度出发

切断动物的内脏迷走神经向中纤维;另一组动物切断脊髓前外侧索躯体向The experiment was divided into 2 groups. In one group

the animal's nodose ganglion of vagus nerve was taken out; In another group

the animal's half spinal cord was cut off. The results showed that both somatic ascending fibers and vagus nervous fibers all projected in solitary nucleus

commissural nucleus

trigeminal spinal nucleus and in nucleus medulla oblongalae centralis

i. e

these nuclei not only related to somatic nerves

but also related to splanchnic nerves (vagus nerve)

which are considered to be foundation of correlation theory of soma and viscera.
