THis is the first,* 1.1 the which with its Companion doth very aptly express a Monks Hood: it takes its Origi∣nation Fleshy from the lower part of the Os Occipitis, and from the Spines of the Vertebres of the Neck, and the eight upper Spines of the Thorax, and springeth Membranous, broad, and running externally towards the Scapula, grows narrower, and is inserted into the whole Spine of the Scapula, and near half his Basis, as also to part of the Clavicle, by a broad, Ner∣vous, and Fleshy Origination, and by the variety of Fibres al∣lowed it,* 1.2 it is variously moved, as upwards, downwards, di∣rectly, obliquely, according as its Fibres are variously contra∣cted; Divide this Muscle from its partner at their Originations from the Spines of the Vertebres, and being so followed and cleared from the Os Occipitis, the Muscles underneath this will much better appear.
And I conceive another Use of this Muscle may be to fasten the Scapula to the Vertebres of the Neck and Thorax; but the chief Use of it is to move the Scapula obliquely upwards.
This you have at A. A. A. B. Tab. 14. B. Shews its Ten∣dinous Insertion into the Scapula, a. b. c. Its three sorts of Fibres.
