Origin of vaso-¹

from Latin vās vessel

The first that concerns us is the existence of the vaso-motor centre, whose situation and functions have been already described.

Direct stimulation of the vaso-motor nerves, alone, as has been said, contracts the blood-vessels.

Severing the same part causes paralysis of the vaso-motor nerves and dilatation of the blood-vessels.

We spent many days with Vaso, shooting with indifferent results, but revelling in the glories of nature.

His teaching in regard to mental and nervous disorders due to vaso-motor disturbance also deserves recognition.
