Fig. 5.

A A, Part of the Lateral Sinus cut off.

B B, A lacerated Portion of the Dura Mater, which involv'd that Sinus, expanded.

C, The Bulbous Part of that Sinus, which was contain'd in the Specus or Cavity of the Os Petrosum; which is a Diverticulum to the Re∣fluent Blood, least it should too suddenly press in∣to the Internal Jugular Vein.

D D D, The Filaments of the Dura Mater broken off.

E, The Beginning of the Internal Jugular Vein.

As the Structure of the Veins of this Part dif∣fer from that of others; so also the Arteries of the Brain, have a peculiar Organization at their Entrance from the ordinary Course of those of other Parts, as does somewhat appear in the fol∣lowing Figure: We have also Figured this Dispo∣sition of the Trunks of the Carotid Arteries, find∣ing them much more Tortuous, than they are here represented.
