 runs across the cricothyroid membrane. 



The lingual artery (Plate CXVI.) first passes obliquely upward and in- 

 ward across the Middle constrictor muscle to the greater cornu of the hyoid 

 bone. It now passes horizontally forward on the Middle constrictor muscle

muscle. The Hyo-glossus muscle separates the lingual artery and the twelfth 

 cranial nerve (hypoglossal). The artery now passes vertically upward between 

 the Hyo-glossus and Genio-hyo-glossus to the under surface of the tongue where 

 it takes the name of ranine artery. In this position it accompanies the lingual 

 nerve, lying on or internal to the Lingualis muscle. It gives off (1) a hyoid
