Abstract
The development of the vegetative nervous system in the phylogenetic line of Protostomia has been studied by Zawarzin and his histological school (Zawarzin 1924, 1941; Tsvileneva 1950, 1951, 1966; Kolmogorova 1959). Zawarzin (1924, 1941) proved that in this line insects have the most differentiated part of the vegetative nervous system, i.e., the system of the ventral unpaired nerve (or median nerve) which may be regarded as analogous to the sympathetic nervous system of vertebrates.
