THE DISTRIBUTION OF ARTERIES. 



Previous to this division are given off the ascending 

 pharyngeal {Fig 11 . 13); which often sends ofT twigs to 

 the soft palate, and to the larynx. 



The submaxillary also gives off small branches to the in- 

 ternal masseter, and to the parotid gland. 



The lingual, almost equal to the parent trunk in size, but 

 is very short. And gives rise to 



The ranine {Fig 11 . 10); and a branch to the cheek of 

 the horse (F?'^ll . 9, 9, 9). 



The ranine is much the largest of the above two ; and 

 takes a serpentine course among the muscles of the tongue.

The mental {Fig 11 . 11) runs between the branches 

 of the lower jaw; nourishing the mylo hyoideus; the internal 

 masseter ; and the gums of the lower jaw. 



To the anterior of the masseter branches, one large, and 

 two or three small ones, are also supplied from the mental. 



Inferior labial runs near the lower border upon the outer
