aétion itfelf. "The'differences of mufcles are various : firft, from theit Tubftance; 
fome are flefhy, as feveral of the tongue and larynx; fome membranous, as the con- 
ftriores of the nofe; fome partly flefhy, partly nervous, as the temporal mufeles! 
fecondly, from their quantity; the greateft of all is the firft of thofe which extend 
over the breaft; for it afcends from the end of the os facrum, to the’ firft’ vertebra 
of ‘the thorax: the leaft of all is the internal mufcle of the ear: thirdly, from their 
fituation : fourthly, from their figure, or form, or number, as the mufcle del 
toides; the mufcle’ bicipites, having two heads; alfo. fome have two tails: fifthly, 
from their beginnings ; fome proceed from bones, fome from cartilages,’as. thofe 
of the larynx; fome from tendons, as the lumbricales: fixthly, from the aétion; 
fome move by ‘fympathy, as the fraterni, or congeneres, or by antipathy, as the - 
antagonifte ,; fome move themfelves only, as the fj phinéters ; fome move other parts; 
fome have only one motion, as moft of the mufcles ; fome have more than one, as 
the maffeter and trapefius; fome are flexores, fome exten/fores, fome rotatores, fome 
Supinatores. As to its being a fimilar part, it is only faid to be fo according to fenfe 
or appearance 3 and that it is fuch, it appears, forafmuch as it forms not of itelf 
alone the moft fimple organical part, as a fingér or toe, &c. but they take into 
their compofition, with a mufcle, feveral other fimilar parts, as bones, cartilages, 
membranes, skin, &c. Moreover a truly diffimilar or organical part is only found 
in itfelf, not in other parts: but a mufcle, as it is but a part of all diffimilar parts, 
fo it goes univerfally or every where to the conftitution of all organical iiss esi 
even the moft fimple organical parts do not. 
The mufcles of the head are either proper, from which comes the primary mo- 
tion upon the firft vertebra, to which it is immediately and clofely joined, being 
bent forward and backward, or turned round; and they arein number eighteen 
fingle, or nine pair: or common, which are thofe, which together with the head 
move | the neck, and thefe are the mufcles of the neck, of which in their proper place. 
The fie pair is called fplenius or fplenicus, or triangularis; it proceeds from the 
ick vert ebra 0 of the breaft, is fpread out on each fide upon the vertebra, reaching to 
et op 1 ver ebra of the neck, from whence it is carried to the middfe of the occi-
