Chap. V. The Anatomy of a HORSE. 6i 



The Vvula is faid to have two Mufcles to The Uvula tnva 

 hold it up, which have alfo very hard and pair, but very 

 long Names beftowed on them ; but they are f^all, 

 fo inconfiderable, that they are hardly worth Notice. 



The Pharynx^ which is the upper Part of q-f^^ Pharynx 

 the Gullet, has belonging to it three pair of ^f^ygg ^ail. '" 

 Mufcles, and one lingle one, befides two pair 

 of a late Difcovery. The lirft pair are call'd the Spbernh 

 phariugaim^ 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 Cephalopharingceum^ fpringing 

 from that part of the Head which joins to the firft Verti> 

 bra of the Neck, and arc implanted on the Outfide of the 

 Pharynx.) ftreightning it by their Adlion, as foon as the 

 Food has pafled through it, thereby alfo forcing it down 

 the Gullet. 



The third pair, called Stykpharingaum^ arife from the 

 Styloid Procefs of the Temporal Bone, and are inferted 

 into the Sides of the Pkarinx, v,'hich they dilate and 

 widen. 



The fingleoiie, which has the Name of o„,r j.Muf 

 Oejophagicsm, encompalTeth the upper part ckJrSphinaer^ 

 of the Gullet, forming its Sphinder, and fer- 

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

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

 do the Extremities of the Bladder and ftreight Gut. 



The laft two pair, firft difcovered by Dr. q-^^ p^-^ ^^-^ 

 Brcwne, were by him call'd Pterygopalatini., ccmered 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 Headend Neck. 



There are four pair of Mufcles common Four pair coTti- 

 To the Head and Neck, and eight pair pro- ^°^ f° '^^ ^^^'^ 

 per to the Head only. «"^ ^^^^' ""^ 



The ^fj/?^/W^«w, which modern Anato- 'f^J^f'' '* 

 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 afccnd obliquely to the mamillary 

 PjoceiTes of the Temporal Bone, into which each is inferted.
