THE MUSCLES themselves as they arise.

Obliquus Descendens

ARiseth fleshy from the lower parts of the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth Ribs, indenting himself with Se∣ratus Major Anticus; as also membra∣nous from the Transverse proceses of the Vertebres of the loyns, and part of the Os Ileon, and so runs by a broad nervous Tendon to the Linea alba and Os pubis, tis difficult to remove the Tendon of this Muscle from the subjacent Tendon as soon as you come to the Rectus without laceration: To dissect this Muscle exact∣ly, you divide the Latissimus from him very low, that so you may come at his Lumbal origination the better.

Page 5

Obliquus Ascendens

ARiseth fleshy from the Appendix of the Os Ileon, and membranous from the proceses of the same Vertebres as the former, and so ascending fleshy, inserts himself into the 11 and 12 Ribs; then extending himself into a large double Tendon (in which the Rectus is conveyed) proceeds to the Linea alba, and Semi lu∣nari Membrain, and is implanted into the 8, 9 and 10 Ribs. Observe, that this Muscle is best raised, by finding the Nerve that runs between this and the Transverse at his origination from Os Ileon.

Rectus

ARiseth from the Os pubis, and running according to the longitude of the bo∣dy, is inserted into the sides of the Ster∣non where the last true Ribs have their Cartilages; The intersections are various, now 3, then 4, and sometimes 3 and a half, sometimes all above, sometimes some be∣low, as also the Anastomasis of the Mam∣milary vessels external, and Epigastrick in∣ternal, always found in women, rarely in men; as also the multitude of Nerves sent to the Perigraphs is very observable: if you finde four Perigraphs, the Piramidals are wanting.

Page 6

Piramidalis sive Falopii

ARiseth from the external part of the Os pubis, broad and fleshy, and run∣ning something below the Rectus, is in∣serted by a long and round Tendon, into the Lineae alba. These are sometimes wanting in such persons as have the origi∣nation of the ascendent not from the Ile∣on, but from the strong ligament which runs from the Spine up to the Os pubis internal, and have four Perigraphs in the Rectus.

Transversalis

ARiseth with a nervous Membrain from the same ligament as the former; as also with a fleshy origination from the internal part of the bastard Ribs, and terminates in a broad Tendon at the semi∣lunary Membrains, the Linea alba, and so down to the Os pubis, he adheres firmly to the subjacent Peritoneum in a maner all along, onely near the Pubis he divides himself. It is to be observed, That all the Muscles (except the Rectus and Pirami∣dal) in their Tendons, have a double per∣foration, one for the umbelical vessels, the other for the seminary vessels in a man, and in a woman for the insertion of the rotund ligament of the Matrix into Os pubis.

Page 7

Frontalis

ARiseth from the most elated part of the forehead, where the hair ends near the Temporal Muscle, and where the carnous Membrain adheres most firmly to the Cranium, and running downright, is inserted into the skin that covers the Eyes, and into the Eye∣brows. In raising this from the Crani∣um, you shall finde Nerves that are sent through the Cranium to him.

Aperiens palpebram Rectus

ARiseth from the upper orbite of the Eye internal, near the Elevator of the Eye, where the optick Nerve hath his transmission, and holds the same course, and is of the same figure and substance, till he inlargeth himself into a broad Tendon, and is inserted into the Cartilage of the upper Eye-lid, accord∣ing to his dimension; not to be shown, but with the other Muscles of the Eye, after he is taken out of the Cranium.

Page 8

Claudens sive Semicircularis superior Deprimens

ARiseth with a sharp beginning from the internal angle of the Eye, and from part of the Eyebrow near the Nose, and so falls something transverse toward the external angle of the Eye, becoming fleshy, and so broad, that he possesseth the whole space between the Eyebrow and the Cartalage, out of which the hairs of the Eyebrow grow, and is inserted into the external angle of the Eye.

Inferior sive Attollens Semicircularis

ARiseth, being membranous and thin, from the top of the Nose near the angle of the lower Eye-lid, with a sharp point, and carried transversly about the middle of the lid, becomes fleshy, and is inserted into the same angle as the other. The question stands undecided among Authors, Whether these two Muscles be not properly one, and that orbicularis, and for the most part is so re∣ceived; though the one doth depress, and the other atoll at the same time, to make a perfect close over the Eye.

Page 9

Rectus occuli primus sive Elevator

ARiseth from the upper part of the Orbite of the Eye, near where the optick Nerve comes forth, and is insert∣ed into the Coat called Cornea of the Eye, where it is clear, and near the Iris, by a thin and membranous Tendon.

Rectus secundus sive Depressor

ARiseth in the inferior and opposite part, of the same Cavity, and hath his insertion as the former.

Rectus tertius sive Adducens

ARiseth from the Orbite of the Eye, near the origination of the Levator, and is inserted as the former.

Rectus quartus sive Abducens

ARiseth from the external angle of the Eye, and is inserted as the for∣mer.

Page 10

Obliquus primus occuli

ARiseth from a Chinck which is in the lower part of the Orbite of the Eye, in his origination fleshy, small, and not altogether round, and is carried oblique∣ly in his whole course, and ascending by degrees to the upper part of the Eye, is there inserted by a short, and sometimes round, but nervous Tendon, between the Tendons of the Attollent and Abducent Muscle, where the Tendon of the other oblique Muscle hath also his insertion, and they seem to be both one.

Obliquus secundus sive Trocheus

ARiseth from the same place with the Abducent, and goes in a right line to the external part of the internal angle, where it grows indifferently thick, and is then attenuated, and grows round, and goes through a Pully there planted, which so soon as it hath passed, it bends, yet so, as that it makes the right angle of the Eye, and running upward, begins to grow oblique, and going over the Le∣vator, is inserted between the Abducent and oblique, as is before described.

Page 11

Attollens Aurem

ARiseth from the external termina∣tion of the Frontal Muscle, and so being thin and membranous, is carried over the Temporal, and is inserted (growing narrower) into the upper part of the Ear; This Muscle must be raised afore Frontalis be thrown down, and not onely this, but all the other external were dissected in this Body.

Detrahens Aurem

ARiseth fleshy, broad (and firbrous sometimes) from the backward part of the Head, near the Mammillary pro∣cess, and so growing narrower in his progress, is inserted into the whole Grille that encompasseth the Ear. Be careful in raising the Cutis, lest you take up this Muscle, and so lose him.

Page 12

Adducens Aurem ad Anteriora

IS a Particle of that Muscle called Pla∣tasma Muodes, from whose insertion you shall finde a fleshy and fibrous Elon∣gation implanted into the root of the Ear.

Abducens ad Posteriora Aurem

ARiseth above the Mammillary pro∣cess from a knot of Muscles in the Occiput, with a narrow beginning, and being carried transversly downwards, is inserted into the hinder part of the Ear.

Internus externus Auri

ARiseth small from the internal mem∣branous skin of the Meatus audito∣rius, and becoming fleshy, is inserted externally by a short Tendon into the Timpanum.

Page 13

Internus intermissimus Auri

BEing within the Os Petrosum hath his origination from the Basis of Os Cunei formis, and so becoming fleshy, though thin and small, and having made half his progress, divides himself into two very small and tender Tendons, the one of which is implanted into the upper process, the other into the neck of Os Mallei.

Abducens Nasi Alam

ARiseth small and fleshy from Os Maxillae superioris, near the first Par Proprium Labiorum, and is inserted into the lower and upper part of the Alae.

Attollens Nasi Alam

ARiseth from the top of the bone of the Nose, with a sharp and fleshy be∣ginning, and so descending according to the length of that bone, is inserted broad and fleshy into the Alam Nasi.

Page 14

Claudens Nasum externus

ARiseth externally and fleshy at the root of the Alae, and so climbing transversly, is inserted into the tip of the Nose.

Claudens Nasum internus

ARiseth under the Membrain that co∣vereth the Nose internally from the bone, at its Ʋnition with the Cartilage, and running downward, is implanted in∣to the Alam Nasi: These are confest on all hands to be rarely found but in Nasute persons, and whether not more by fancy then otherwise, doubtful.

Communis Claudens Alas

IS no other then Orbicularis Labium sive Constringens, when by his Con∣traction proper, these are contracted by accident.

Page 15

Zygomaticus Riolani

ARiseth from the Os Zygoma, with a fleshy and broad beginning, and run∣ning obliquely downward and forward, is inserted into the side of the upper Lip, near Primus Nasi.

Abducens Labios

ARiseth from the Os Zygoma fleshy and round, with much fat, and is im∣planted into the Lips, where they are joyned both together.

Labii inferius Deprimens

ARiseth fleshy from the lowest and foremost part of the inferior Maxil∣lae, whence running obliquely, it is broad∣ly inserted into the middle of the Lip.

Par Labium Constringens

IS of a fungeus substance, with Orbicu∣lar fibers arising from the middle of the bones of the superior and inferior Max∣illa, and makes the whole body of those that we call Lips, which appear red to us.

Page 16

Platasma Muodes

ARiseth from the Vertebres of the Neck, Scapula, Clavicula, and Ster∣non, large, broad and thin, with store of membranous fibers, and so running up with oblique fibers, is inserted into the Chin, where both the superior and inferior Lips are joyned, and inlargeth himself so far as to make Adducens Auri ad Anteriora: Great care must be had to preserve this Muscle, for whe∣ther you raise the Cutis from above or from below, he adheres very close to it. In the raising this Muscle, be careful to leave his Elongation that makes Addu∣cens Aurem ad Anteriora, which you will rarely miss.

Page 17

Buccinator

ARiseth from the upper part of the upper Mandible, and from the lower part of the lower Mandible, where the Gums begin, and runs circular; the proper Coat of the Mouth adheres so firmly to him internally, that he is scarce separable, and externally he hath a large round Tendon implanted into the midst of him, which hath his origination from a glau∣dulous substance growing to the Os Zy∣goma, close by the origination of the Muscle so called: This not taken notice of by any Author, but found by the Masters of Anatomy in a Body at the Theater in August, 1648.

Massetor sive Lateralis

ARiseth large, strong and nervous, first from that Suture where the 4 and 1 bone of the Maxilla superior joyn; Secondly, fleshy from the Os Jugale, and is inserted firmly and largely into the whole lower Mandible external. If you throw this Muscle either from his origi∣nation or insertion, Temporalis will ap∣pear in his insertion.

Page 18

Temporalis

ARiseth from the Os Frontis, Synci∣pitis, and Sphaenoides, fleshy and semicircular, and in his descension grow∣ing narrower, runneth under the Os Juga∣le, with a short, but extraordinary strong and fleshy Tendon, into the process of the lower Mandible called Koronum. If you please to raise the Muscle carefully, you shall finde, That (contrary to the Opinion of some) the Periostion is un∣der this Muscle.

Mastoideus

ARiseth with a double origination, one from the Sternon, nervous, and the other fleshy from the more elated part of the Clavicle, and is inserted obliquely into the Process Mammillar by a round and fleshy Tendon.

Page 19

Biventer sive Digastricus

ARiseth with a broad and nervous be∣ginning from the process Styloidis, and presently becomes round, fleshy and small, and so soon as he comes to recur∣vate under or through the Stylohyoideus, he becomes a nervous round Tendon, and then becomes fleshy again, and is inserted into the middle interior part of the ne∣ther Mandible.

Caracohyoideus

ARiseth near the neck of Os Scapula, from its process Caracoides fleshy, and running under the Levator Patientiae, is carried obliquely under the Mastoideus, and there becomes a smal round Tendon, and then fleshy again, and so is implant∣ed into the horns of the Os Hyoidis. If you leave this Muscle in his origination, at the dissection of the Levator you will finde his origination perfect.

Sternohyoideus

ARiseth broad and fleshy from the in∣ternal part of the Sternon, and run∣ning on (the same in substance and breadth) all along the Aspera Arteria, is inserted into the Basis of the Os Hyoidis.

Page 20

Sternothyroideus

ARiseth fleshy and broad from the upper, but inner part of the Sternon, and keeping his dimensions, runs up with straight Fibers along by the Aspera Ar∣teria, and is inserted into the lower side of the Cartilago Thyroidis.

Hyothyroideus

ARiseth from the whole side of Os Hyoidis at his Basis, and running down broad with right Fibers, is insert∣ed into the lowest and lateral part of the Cartilago Thyroidis. If you take off this Muscle clear from his origination and insertion, you will be the less troubled to finde those of the Larinx.

Styloceratohyoideus

ARiseth from the root of the Process Styloidis, and being small and round, is implanted into the horn of the Os Hyoidis, found infallibly by Digastricus his running through or under him.

Page 21

Mylohyoideus Riolani

ARiseth laterally from the nether Mandible internal, under the Dentes Molares fleshy, and is inserted into the Basis of the Os Hyoidis externally; He is to be thrown upward in Dissection.

Geniohyoideus

ARiseth internally from that middle part of the lower Mandible, called the Chin, and running down short and fleshy, is inserted in a proper Cavity, at the Basis of the Os Hyoidis internally.

Myloglossus

ARiseth from the innermost lateral part of the lower Mandible, just under Dentes Molares, in the beginning broad, and is inserted into the ligament that tyes the Basis of the Tongue to the Fauces. At the origination of Mylo∣hyoideus, you will certainly finde this, and he is best shown when the Mandible is divided.

Page 22

Ceratoglossus

ARiseth from the upper horn of the Os Hyoidis; but if he be wanting, then from the lower horn, and so is im∣planted laterally into the Tongue near its root.

Genioglossus

ARiseth with a narrow beginning, a∣bout the middle of the lower Mandi∣ble, and then inlarging himself, is insert∣ed into the root of the Tongue.

Hypsioglossus

ARiseth fleshy from the middle and upper part of the Os Hyoidis, and is inserted into the middle of the Tongue, according to its Longitude.

Styloglossus

ARiseth fleshy and small from the Pro∣cess Styloidis with a sharp beginning, and growing more broad and fleshy, is in∣serted into the lateral part of the Tongue, is best found by discovering with your fingers Styloides, and then your eye will lead you to this Muscle at the lateral part of the Tongue.

Page 23

Lingualis

ARiseth fleshy and large from the Basis of the Os Hyoidis, and so runs ac∣cording to its Longitude forward to the tip of the Tongue, and is disputed whe∣ther Muscle or no.

Cricothyroideus Anticus

ARiseth fleshy from the external part of the Cartilago Cricoidis, and is in∣serted into the lateral part of the Carti∣lago Thyroidis.

Oesophagieus

IS a broad Muscle fleshy, wholly en∣compassing the Posterior and Anterior part of the Oesophagus arising laterally, according to the Longitude of the Carti∣lago Thyroidis. This being carefully raised and cleared, you will the better finde Stylopharyngaeus and Cephalopharyngaeus.

Page 24

Stylopharyngaeus

ARiseth with a small beginning from the internal part of the Process Sty∣loidis, and is implanted by a membranous Tendon, into the Thyroidis, the sides of the Os Hyoidis, and the root of the Tongue.

Cephalopharyngaeus

ARiseth from the Cranium, and the first Vertebre of the Neck, where they are joyned, and so descending, is implant∣ed into the lateral parts of the Os Hyoi∣dis, Cartilago Thyroidis, and the begin∣ning of the Oesophagus, for whom he seems to make a Coat.

Cricoarytenoideus Posticus

ARiseth fleshy from the hinder and lower part of the Cricoidis, and run∣ning up with right Fibers, and repleating the Cavity of the Cricoidis, it is ner∣vously implanted into the inner Seat of the Arytenoidis.

Page 25

Cricoarytenoideus Lateralis

ARiseth from the lateral part of the Cricoidis, and is inserted into the la∣teral external part of the Arytenoidis.

Arytenoideus

ARiseth from the Cartilago Arytenoi∣dis, and is inserted into it again, en∣compassing with its Partner (to whom laterally he is joyned) the Cartilage from whence he receives his denomi∣nation.

Thyroaritenoideus

ARiseth fleshy, broad, and transversly in the Cavity of the Larinx, from the middle internal part of the Thyroidis, and being carried upward according to his Longitude, is inserted into the lateral part of the Arytenoidis, which makes the Glottis. This Muscle is best found, by carefully dividing the Cartilago Thyroi∣dis from the Cricoidis, Arytenoidis, and subjacent Muscles, the Coats of them be∣ing carefully preserved, and then will plainly appear this.

Page 26

Sphaenopharyngaeus primus

ARiseth thin and nervous from the sharp appendix of Os Cuneiformis, and descending (by the internal Cavity of the Pterigoidis) is inserted by a small Tendon into that skinny part of the Pallat, from which the Ʋva seems to proceed.

Sphaenopharyngaeus secundus

ARiseth as the former, but is inserted not onely into the lateral, but also in∣to the posterior part of the Fauces.

To finde these, you must (after you have raised the Larinx and Oesophagus) leave the Fauces intire, and then divide the Fau∣ces themselves from the Os Palati, till you come into the Cavity; then carry your Knife close as you can internally to the Os Cuneiformis, and being so divided, you will easily finde both their origina∣tions, and may as easily dissect them: It was proposed to clear the external Coat off the Pharinx, and then to dissect these Muscles, and follow them to their origi∣nations.

Page 27

Pterygoeideus externus sive Adducens

ARiseth from the external part of the Processus Aliformis in part, as also from the rough and sharp line of Os Cu∣neiformis, strong, nervous and fleshy, and so runs down large, and is inserted by a strong broad Tendon, into the internal part of the lower Mandible lateral, just under the Tendon of the temporal Muscle.

Pterygoeideus internus sive Abducens

ARiseth thick and short from the in∣ternal Cavity of the Process Alifor∣mis, first nervous, and then fleshy, and is inserted by a broad, strong and nervous Tendon, into the lower Mandible inter∣nally lateral: These two Muscles appear not, till the whole Dissection of the Tongue Larinx and Gala be fully com∣pleated.

Page 28

Longus

ARiseth sharp and fleshy from the forepart of the Body, of the fifth Vertebre of the Thorax, where the Rib joyns himself to him, and so running up under the Oesophagus, is joyned to the sides of the bodies of all the Vertebres, ascending till he comes to the first of them, where meeting with Scalenus, they insert themselves by a sharp nervous Ten∣don into the transverse Process of the first Vertebre of the Neck.

Scalenus sive Triangularis

ARiseth from the first and uppermost Rib of the Thorax broad and fleshy, and then narrowing himself in his course upward, he bestows transverse Fibers upon all the transverse Processes of the Neck, and is inserted as the for∣mer.

Page 29

Pectoralis

ARiseth first from the middle of the Clavicle, where he is most round and next the breast fleshy: Secondly, from the Sternon, according to his length, and is annexed to his Cartilages: Thirdly, from the Cartilages of the 6, 7 and 8 Ribs, and there is nervous in his origination, and so proceeds fleshy and large, till he comes to the lateral part of the Thorax, where he is converted into a short broad and strong Tendon, and inserted into Os Hu∣meri, according to his Longitude, be∣tween the Deltois and Biceps.

Subclavius

ARiseth fleshy from the rising part of the first Rib, where he is joyned to the Sternon, and running as it were trans∣versly, is inserted into that part of the Clavicula, that faceth the Rib and the Process Acromion, with a fleshy and broad end; others, and that many, invert his origination to his insertion, and so è con∣trario: This Muscle is left standing in dis∣section, unless for particular satisfaction.

Page 30

Seratus Major Anticus

ARiseth from the eight lower Ribs with a Saw-like nervous and accute beginning, hence growing fleshy upon the Ribs, he ascends and inserts himself fleshy into the whole Basis of the Sca∣pula internally. This is controverted whether the origination and insertion be not è contrario.

Seratus Minor Anticus

ARiseth from the four first upper Ribs by so many Saw-like originations, and so descending towards the Scapula, narrows himself, and is inserted broad, fleshy and nervous into it.

Intercostales externi

HAve their originations from the trans∣verse Processes of the Back, where the Ribs are joyned, and so proceeding fleshy, fix themselves along from the lower part of the upper Rib external, to the upper part of the lower Rib external, and so proceed to the Cartilage of the Sternon.

Page 31

Intercostales interni

HAve their origination where the Ribs begin to curvate internal, and run from the lower to the upper part of the Ribs, not onely to the Catilage, but un∣der that to the Os Pectoris sive Sternon.

Cremasteres

TAke their origination (from the ter∣mination of the transverse Muscle of the Abdomen) oblong, and tender with red, fleshy and right Fibers; and so pas∣sing through the Perforations of the Ab∣dominal Muscles, he joyns himself to the Spermatique vessels, and encompasseth the Testes.

Erector Penis

ARiseth from the Appendix of the Coxendix, below the beginning of the Penis, and proceeding nervous, be∣comes fleshy, and ascends obliquely, and is inserted laterally into the Penis.

Page 32

Accelerator Penis

ARiseth fleshy from Sphinctor Ani, and joyning with his Partner internally lateral, and running up the forepart of the Penis, is inserted into the Vrethra.

Levatores Ani

ARise from the ligaments of the Pu∣bis Coxendix and Sacrum under the Bladder, small, thin, broad and membra∣nous, and are inserted into each side of the Podex; These are best discovered afore you remove the Intestinum rectum vesica, and parts adjacent.

Sphinctor Ani

ARiseth from the lower Vertebres of the Os Sacrum round and broad, ad∣joyning himself largely circular to the In∣testinum rectum with transverse Fibers, much thicker above then below, where he adheres so firmly to the Cutis, that it is very hardly divideable, which was the occasion that some took it for two, cal∣ling the last Cuticulosus.

Page 33

Sphinctor Vesicae

IS placed Orbicular in the neck of the Bladder, scarcely distinguishable from the substance of it; onely where you finde a rotund induration, that is he.

Detrusor Ʋrinae

SAid to arise between the common and second proper Coat of the Bladder; the first proper Coat being properly his, if not him.

Diaphragma

HAth his origination from a Nerve in his own Center, and is inserted in the forepart to the Sternon and terminations of the true Ribs, and to the twelfth Rib; as also to the extremities of the bastard Ribs on the sides, and in the hinder part to the flesh, wanting Vertebres of the loyns, to which he is firmly annexed.

Page 34

Here let the Body be turned upon its face.

Cuccularis

ARiseth fleshy from the inferior part of the Os Occipitis, and from the Spines of the Vertebres of the neck, and the eight upper Spines of the Vertebres of the Thorax, and springeth membra∣nous, broad, and running externally to∣wards 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 Clavicula, by a broad, nervous and fleshy termination. This Muscle is to be divided from his Partner, at their origination from the Spines of the Vertebres; and being so followed, and well cleared from the Os Occipitis, the Muscles underneath will the better appear.

Page 35

Latissimus sive ani-scalptor

ARiseth from the Spines of the Ver∣tebres of the Thorax, from part of the Os Sacrum, as also from the up∣per part of the Os Ileon: Here his ori∣gination is meerly membranous, but run∣ning higher, so soon as it attains the cur∣vation of the Ribs, he grows fleshy, and in his ascension becoming narrower, is carried over the lower Angle of the Sca∣pula; and by a strong and short, but broad Tendon, he is implanted below the upper head of the Os Humeri, be∣tween the pectoral and rotund Muscles. Great care must be had, lest in the raising of this Muscle from his origination, you take up the origination of the subjacent Muscle Seratus inferior Posticus. If you take not great care, this Muscle will bor∣row from Quadratus Lumbi, as you raise him from the Ileon, to which he firmly adheres; as also near the Scapula, Sera∣tus Major Anticus will rise with him, unless carefully observed.

Page 36

Rhomboidis

ARiseth broad and fleshy (immediately under the Cuccularis) from the Spi∣nal Processes of the three lower Ver∣tebres of the Neck, and three upper Vertebres of the Thorax; whence run∣ning with thin Fibres, he descends down to the Scapula, to whose whole Basis ex∣ternally he adheres broad and fleshy: In raising this, be careful that you do not raise the Tendon of Seratus superior Posticus, who lies just under him.

Levator Patientiae

ARiseth from the first, third, fourth and fifth transverse Processes of the Neck, and hath as many several origina∣tions, with their Interstitiums; These joyning, descend, and adjoyn to the whole superior side of the Rhomboidis, till it is inserted by a broad fleshy Ten∣don to the highest Angle of the Sca∣pula.

Page 37

Rotundus

ARiseth fleshy from the lower Angle of the Scapula, and adhering fleshy to his lower Costa, proceeds, and having gone half way, deserts, and being in∣differently dilated, is inserted by a short, broad and strong Tendon into that part of the Os Humeri, where Pectoralis hath his insertion.

Superscapularis superior

ARiseth fleshy from the whole Basis of the Scapula, above the Spine, and going backward to the neck of it, there passeth under the second ligament of the Humeri, as the Biceps doth, and is in∣serted by a broad and strong Tendon, obliquely into the neck of the Os Hu∣meri.

Page 38

Superscapularis inferior

ARiseth from almost the whole Basis of the lower part of the Scapula, and possessing the major part of that Ca∣vity fleshy, running backward, narrows himself according to the form of the part, and by a broad Tendon, is inserted into the ligament of Os Humeri.

Nonus Humeri Placentini

ARiseth sharp, and fleshy from the lowest Angle of the Scapula, at his Basis, and growing more fleshy to its Venter, decreases again, and terminates himself by a sharp Tendon into the liga∣ment of the Os Humeri.

Subscapularis

ARiseth fleshy from the whole internal Basis of the Scapula, and so running forward according to the dimension of the bone, narrows himself, and by a broad Tendon, is inserted into the fourth ligament of the Humeris.

Page 39

If you please to take off the whole Arm with the Sca∣pula now, the Dissection of these following Muscles will be the easier per∣formed.

Deltois

ARiseth generally nervous, first, for∣ward from the middle of the Cla∣vicle, where he is broadest, next the Os Humeri: Secondly, from the top of the Scapula, where he is joyned to the Cla∣vicle: Thirdly, from the whole Spine of the Scapula; These originations present∣ly growing fleshy, descend, and narrow∣ing, becomes a strong Tendon, external∣ly fleshy, internally nervous, and is im∣planted transversly under the neck of the Os Humeri.

Page 40

Biceps

ARiseth first externally from the top of the Acetabulum Scapulae, by a long and round Tendon, and so runs under the ligament of that juncture over the head of Os Humeri, and through a Channel insclupt for him there; where he is bound in by a proper ligament: Secondly, he ariseth broad, fleshy and nervous from the Process Anchoriformis, and is carried over the internal head of Os Humeri, and so descending, meets with the other, and makes one strong and fleshy Muscle, and narrowing himself, becomes a strong thick, large, round and nervous Ten∣don, and is inserted into an oblong Pro∣minence under the upper head of the Radius.

Page 41

Octavus Humeri Placentini

ARiseth by a short and nervous origi∣nation, from the Process Anchorifor∣mis, near the origination of the Deltois, and so descending, becomes something long, large and fleshy, and is by a strong Tendon implanted into the middle of the Os Humeri.

Through the body of this Muscle doth pass a Nerve, which serves the rest of the Muscles. But in this Dissection the Masters had no perforation nor Nerve through him, for the Nerve ran by.

Brachieus

ARiseth (about the middle of the Os Humeri, near the insertion of the Deltois and Pectoralis) double, broad and fleshy, partly by the external, partly by the internal side of the said Bone, but joyning presently, and firmly adhering to the Bone: He in descension becomes large, till at last he terminates broad and fleshy in the ligament of the joynt, as well as in the Appendices of the Cubitus and Radius.

Extensor Carpi exterior

ARiseth from the edge which is above the exterior extuberance of the Os Humeri, by a broad nervous beginning; then growing more fleshy, he runs by the Radius according to its length, and be∣ing got half-way, he converts himself in∣to a strong Tendon, which presently di∣vides himself into two more broad, then thick, and so descending by the Radius, pass under the Annular ligament beyond the Carpus, and are inserted into the Os Metacarpi of the fore-Finger and se∣cond Finger.

Page 52

Extensor Carpi interior

You must throw off this from his originations, and preserve as many of his Ansulae as you can between the Spines, by running between and recovering his Tendon.

Page 58

Trigeminus

ARiseth threefold; First, from the fourth and fifth transverse Processes of the Vertebres of the Thorax, and immediately becoming fleshy, ascends over the rest of those Vertebres, till he comes to the lowest Vertebre of the Neck, where he becomes a round Ten∣don; but not far off from thence he be∣comes fleshy again, and inserts himself into the middle of the Occiput: The se∣cond origination is by a short round Nerve from the same Processe of the last Vertebre of the Neck; and from thence becoming fleshy, is conjoyned with the other before his implantation: The third origination is partly fleshy, partly nervous, from the transverse Pro∣cesses of the first and second Vertebres of the Thorax; and running obliquely outward (after conjunction with the o∣thers) is inserted to the root of the Mammillary Process, bestowing an Ansu∣lae upon every transverse Process of the Cervix.

Page 62

Sacrolumbus

HAth the same origination in toto with the Dorsi Longissimus, and adheres to him externally lateral, according to its Longitude, till it hath attained the twelfth Vertebre of the Thorax, where they seem to be two (although by Dis∣section to be divided most difficult) and so growing thinner, inserts himself by two small Tendons into every Rib of the Thorax at their incurvation.

Page 63

Sacer

ARiseth from the external part of the Os Sacrum, where he is joyned to the Spine, and so arising fleshy, hath three several Tendinous insertions; The first into the upper part of the transverse Pro∣cesses of the Vertebre of the Loyns; The other into the roots of the same Pro∣cesses; and the third into every Spine of the same Vertebre. To finde Sacer (not dissected afore this Body) you must raise Dorsi Longissimus and Sacrolumbus from their membranous origination at Os Ileon, Os Sacrum, and from the Spines of the Lumbi, and immediately under that, will appear this in Situ, and in clearing him well, you will remove the scruple some make of the origination of Semispinatus and Spinatus, one begin∣ning where the other ends.

Semispinatus

ARiseth by a sharp beginning from the Spine of the last Vertebre of the Thorax, and becoming fleshy, bestows a nervous Tendon upon every Spine of the Vertebres, ascending, and terminates accutely in the Spine of the first Verte∣bre of the Thorax.

In this Body there did appear Psoas Parvus, mentioned by Riolanus.

Page 65

Now if you please to take off the Thigh from the Trunk of the Body, by dividing the Os Ileon from the Os Sa∣crum, the Dissection of the subsequent Muscles will be the better performed.

This Muscle must be raised in∣ternally, and got through the Sinus un∣der the ligament, and then his purse will plainly appear. This by Riolanus is in its Marsupium made two, and called Quadragemini, but not to be dissected.

Page 69

Quadrageminus

ARiseth fleshy from the external rising of the Os Ileon, and from the Ap∣pendix of the Coxendix, and runs broad, short and fleshy towards the hinder part of the great Rotator, and is inserted into that space of the bone which is between the two Rotators.

Flexor primi internodii digitorum

ARise round and fleshy from the Ten∣dons of Tertii internodii flexor, and are inserted by small Tendons laterally to the first joynts of the Toes. If you examine this carefully; you shall finde these to have their origination from a musculous portion of flesh, seated in the internal Cavity of Os Calcis, and pro∣ceeding fleshy half the Sole, there makes these, and from him sometimes proceeds a Tendon to the first of the Toes, and makes Secundi internodii; as also you shall always finde, That the Tendon of the Tertii internodii flexor runs through the body of this, and is not perfectly divisible.
