Chap. V. T/je Anatomy of a HOKS^, 6i 



The Uvula is faid to have two Mufcles to Tie Uvula ^a« 

 hold it up, which have alfo very hard and pair, hut <v£nf 

 long Names bellowed on them ; but they are y^«^^. 

 fo inconliderable, that they are hardly worth Notice. 



The Pharynx^ which is the upper Part of ^^^ Pharynx 

 the Gullet, has belonging to it three pair of ^^^^^ ^^^/^ * 

 Mufcles, and one lingle one, befides two pair 

 of a late Difcovery. The firft pair are cali'd the Sphens- 

 fharingaum^ which arife from the Appendage of the wedge- 

 like Bone, and are inferted into the lateral parts of the Palate 

 and Pharynx^ which they widen in fwallowing. 



The next pair are called Cephalopharingaum^ fpringing 

 from that part of the Head which joins to tht iirit Verte- 

 Ira of the Neck, and are implanted on the Outfide of the 

 Pharynx^ ftreightning it by their Adion, as foon as the 

 Food has pafled through it, thereby alfo forcing it down 

 the Gullet. 



The third pair, called Stylopharingaum^ arife from the 

 Styloid Proccfs of the Temporal Bone, and are inferted 

 into the Sides of the Pharinx^ which they dilate and 

 widen. 



The fingleone, which has the Name of One^gleUuf 

 0</^/)%/^«j, encompafleth the upper part deJrSthinaer^ 

 of the Gullet, forming its Sphinder, and fer- 

 ving for the fame Ufe as thofe of the Arms and Bladder, to 

 wit, to draw and purfe up the Mouth of the Gullet, as thofe 

 do the Extremities of the Bladder and Itreight Gut. 



The laft two pair, firft difcovered by Dr. ^^^ ^^-^ ^;r 

 Browne^ were by him cali'd Pterygopalatini^ co<vered by Dr. 

 and Sphenopalatini. The ufe of the firft Browne. 

 pair being to deprefs the Glandula Palati, 

 and that of the fecond to elevate and lift it up. 



§ VI. Of the Mufcles of the He^d and NecL 



There are four pair of Mufcles common Four fir com- 

 to the Head and Neck, and eight pair pro- «?*« ^° ^^^^ ^^^^d 

 per to the Head only. ^"^ ^^^^'* ^'^•^ 



The Afj/?tf;W^aw, which modern Anato- "g^^ Py^^ fo 

 mifts reckon the firft proper pair, have each 

 a double Beginning, one from the Breaft-bone, nervous, 

 and the other from the Collar-bone, which is flefhy ; 

 from whence they afcend obliquely to the mamillary 

 Prgcefles of the Temporal Bone, into which cAchis inferted.
