Ganglia near the vertebral column are connected to the spinal cord by |
nerves. The sympathetic system is formed by the chain of ganglia on either |
sides of the vertebral column and the associated nerves. The para |
sympathetic system is formed by the nerves arising from the ganglia of |
the brain and the posterior part of the spinal cord. These together constitute |
the autonomous nervous system. It is the part of the peripheral nervous |

system consisting of twelve pairs of cranial nerves and thirty one pairs of |
spinal nerves. |
Several functions in our body are controlled by nerves while many of |
them and others are controlled by other ways as well. You might have heard |
about people having diabetes and know that they have to take tablets or |
insulin injections when the level of sugar in their blood rises.Let’s find |

out what insulin is and how we came to know about it. This would also give |
us an idea of controls other than nerves in our body. |

The Story of insulin |

In 1868 Paul Langerhans, Professor of Pathology at the University of |
Freiburg in Germany, working on the structure of the pancreas, noted certain |
patches of cells quite different in appearance from the normal tissue cells |
of the organ and richly supplied with blood vessels. They are known Islets |
of Langerhans (Islets stands for islands), but their function remained |
unknown. Many others interested in the function of pancreas and found |

that its removal from the body of an experimental animal would lead to |
the development of diseases similar to a well-known human ailment ‘sugar |

diabetes’. This is a condition in which the amount of free sugar in the |
blood and in the urine is abnormally high. It’s a cause in man was unknown |
but evidence pointed to the pancreas as a possible role. |

The next stage was reached when it was found that tying up the |
pancreatic duct that emerged from the duodenum( a part of the small |
intestine) would cause the pancreas to degenerate but the Islets of |

not develop diabetes. This was really a strong evidence that the level of |

blood sugar is linked with the islet cells. By 1912, workers were convinced |
that the islets produced a secretion which directly liberated into the |
blood. In Latin ‘insula’ means an island. The name insulin was coined |
for the secretion, even though it had not been isolated. |
Ten years later in Toronto, Banting, Best, and Macleod finally |

succeeded in extracting insulin from degenerate animal pancrease whose |
ducts to the intestine had been tied. When given by intravenous injection |
to a dog with no pancreas, this substance kept it alive and healthy with a |
low level of blood sugar. Insulin is now produced in large quantities for |
