DISSECTING MANUAL. 



The occipital arises posteriorly under the Digastric, under 

 which and the Sterno-mastoid it runs upward and backward, 

 then passes backward in a groove on the under surface of the 

 mastoid, and then ascends to the scalp. Its branches are: 

 muscular; sterno-mastoid, to that muscle; meningeal, tra- 

 versing the anterior condyloid and posterior lacerated fora- 

 mina; mastoid, traversing the mastoid foramen; princeps 

 cervicis, dividing in two branches, superficial and deep, which 

 run over and under the Complexus; auricular, to the back of 

 the ear; external and internal terminal, to the back of the 

 scalp. [807] 



The posterior auricular arises posteriorly, just above the 

 Digastric, and ascends behind the ear. Its branches are: 

 muscular; parotid, to that gland; stylo-mastoid, ascending in 

 the aqueduct of Fallopius to the tympanum ; auricular, to the 

 pinna and region behind; and mastoid, running along the in- 

 sertion of the Sterno-mastoid. [808] 



The ascending pharyngeal arises internally and ascends on 

 the pharyngeal wall. Its branches are: pharyngeal, to the 

 pharynx; prevertebral, to that region; meningeal, travers- 

 ing the anterior condyloid, posterior lacerate, or middle lacer- 

 ate foramen; tympanic, accompanying Jacobson's nerve to 

 the tympanum; and palatine, running above the Superior 

 constrictor to the soft palate. [808] 



The superficial temporal ascends over the zygoma to the 

 front of the ear and divides into two terminal branches, an- 

 terior and posterior, which diverge to the top of the head. 

 Its other branches are parotid, to that gland; articular, to the 

 temporo-mandibular joint; auricular, to the ear; transverse 

 facial, crossing the Masseter below the zygoma but above the 

 duct (Stenson's) of the parotid; middle temporal, crossing the 

 zygoma and piercing the Temporal; and orbital, running 

 forward above the zygoma, between the layers of temporal 

 fascia, to the orbit. [809] 



The internal maxillary begins behind the neck of the lower
