40 SPECIAL ANATOMY. 



racemose, the glands of the lips, cheeks, tongue, esophagus, larynx, &c., gl. 

 Brunneriana of the small intestines, &c. 



We may distinguish three separated tracks of the mucous mem- 

 brane. 



1. The digestive and respiratory mucous membrane commences 

 in common at the mouth, continues into the excretory ducts of 

 the salivary glands, upon the nose, through the lacrymal canals, 

 and punctae upon the fibrous coat of the eye, through the tuba 

 Eustachii upon the cavity of the tympanum ; it then passes on 

 the one hand from the Pharynx through the Larynx to the Tra- 

 chea and Lungs, on the other through the oesophagus to the 

 stomach and intestines. 



2. The mucous membrane of the genital and urinary organs is 

 more separated in the female than in the male. The urinary 

 mucous membrane, commencing from the external opening of the 

 genitals, terminates in the excretory ducts of the kidneys, and 

 continues in the male through those of the Prostate, into the semi- 

 nal vesicles, ducts, and testicles. In the female the genital mucous 

 membrane goes from the Vagina into the Uterus and tubes, and 

 opens freely into the abdomen, where the serous cavity of the 

 peritoneum communicates with it. 



3. The mucous membrane of the mammary gland commences 

 at the nipple, and terminates in the closed extremities of the milk 

 ducts.
