An Explanation of the Table of the Arteries.

This Table comprises the delineation of the great Artery, entire and free from all the parts.

* 1.1THe large beginning of the great Aroery, where it issues out of the left ven∣tricle of the heart: but presently after its rise, and before it yet falls out of the Pericardium or purse of the heart, it shoots forth the two Coronary Arteries,* 1.2 a, a, which encom∣pass the basis of the heart in manner of a Crown.

But presently having past the pericar∣dium,* 1.3 it is divided B, into two trunks; one of which is the Ascendent C,* 1.4 the other the Descendent one Q

The Ascendent Trunk C, is by and by divided into the two subclavian arte∣ries D D,* 1.5 both which when they have at∣tained to the first rib, scatter many propa∣gations; partly from the higher, partly from their lower side.

From the lower side issues Intercosta∣lis superior, the upper artery between the ribs,* 1.6 b, communicating particular twigs to the distances of the four upper ribs.

From the higher side issue three. The first is vertebralis, the artery of the rack-bones,* 1.7 c, creeping on by the transverse pro∣cesses of the rack-bones of the neck, as far as to the skull. The second mammaria the artery of the dugs,* 1.8 d, which descending under the breast-bone, runs out as far as to the seat of the navil, and distributes sprigs into the distances of the gristles of the true ribs, and then into the muscles that lye upon the breast; at length about the navi•• it joyns by anastomosis or ino∣culation, x, with the ascending Epiga∣strick artery, 1. The third cervicalis or the artery of the back-side of the neck e,* 1.9 is propagated to the muscles on the back-side of the neck, as far as the nowl of the head.

These branches being issued out, the sub∣clavian artery goes to the arm pit, and takes the name of Axillaris,* 1.10 about E, and so is diffused into the arm. Yet before it enters thereinto, it shoots out some twigs from both parts of it: from the lower three;* 1.11 of which the first f, is called sca∣pularis interna the inner blade Artery, because it is spent upon the muscles that cover the hollow side of the shoulder-blade. The second is Thoracica superior the upper chest Artery,* 1.12 g, dispersed into the muscles on the foreside of the chest. The third h,* 1.13 Thoracica inferior the lower Artery of the chest, which descending along the sides of the chest, is inserted into the muscle called Aniscalptor, that moves the upper part of the arm backward. Be∣twixt g and h a little branch is placed, one of ahem which here are disseminated into the glandules of the arm-pit. From the upper part issues one,* 1.14 i, called scapu a∣ris interna the outer blade artery, being disposed of into the muscles, on the out∣side of the shoulder-blade.* 1.15

In this place the axillary artery chan∣ges its name, and is called Brachialis the trunk of the arm, that is undivided as far as G,* 1.16 scattering two twigs l and m into the muscles that cover the bone of the upper part of the arm on the back side;* 1.17 and two other n n, one of each side about the bending of the cubit.* 1.18

The parting in twain of the Brachial artery under the bough of the cubit into an outer H,* 1.19 and inner branch I.

The outer branch of this division, or Radius, running straight along the Ra∣dius or lesser bone of the cubit to the wrist,* 1.20 and distributing a branch o into the mus∣cles seated betwixt the first bone of the thumb, and that of the metacarpium or after-wrist,* 1.21 which sustaines the fore-finger, and then three other, ppp; which are dispersed into the first outer fingers, the thumb, and the two fingers next thereunto.

* 1.22The inner branch or Cubiteus passing along the greater bone of the cubit, is at length consumed in a double branch upon the two inner fingers, the ring-finger and little one.

* 1.23The remaining part of the Ascendent trunk, which near to the upper part of the breast-bone is cleft into two branches MM called Carotides,* 1.24 or the sleepy arteries. These tend directly upward by the sides of the neck, and being come to the chops are divided into two branches about N,* 1.25 one of which is the outer O, the other the inner P.

The outer Carotis, propagates twigs † to the Buccae or cheek puffs,* 1.26 and to the muscles of the face; but about the ear it is cut into two branches, a foremost one, q,* 1.27 which is carried through the Tem∣ples;* 1.28 and a hinder one, r, that is dissemi∣nated along the back side of the ear under the skin.

* 1.29The inner carotis, going to the skul is divided near to the basis thereof into two branches; of which the one and les∣ser,* 1.30 s, which goes into the sinus on the side of the thick membrane, is cut off here, whereabout it sinks into the skull: the o∣ther and greater,* 1.31 t, enters the skull, through a peculiar hole bored for it in the temple-bone.

* 1.32The Descenden Trunk of the great artery, reaching downward to the rack-bones of the back.

From this before its division at R, many propagations are scattered, which we will now rehearse in order.

First then are Intercostales inferiores, the lower arteries between the ribs,* 1.33 uuu, distributed to the distances of the eight low∣er•• ribs, from which propagations are brought to the marrow of the back-bone, and to the muscles that grow to the back and chest. After this the trunk passing on distributes two more, called Phrenicae, the arteries ef the midriff,* 1.34 xx, because they are disposed of into the midriff. Then follows Coeliaca or the stomach-artery. After that Mesenterica superior, the upper ar∣tery of the Mesentery,* 1.35 y, reaching out into the guts, Jejunum and Ileum, as also in∣to that part of the Colon, which reaches from the hollow of the Liver as far as the right kidney. After this the Emulgent arteries,* 1.36 z, propagated to the kidneys. Then spermaticae,* 1.37 the seed arteries, α, go∣ing to the testicles, under which is Mesen∣terica inferior the lower artery of the Mesentery,* 1.38 β, departing into the left side of the colick, and into the strait gut, and making the haemorrhoidal arteries. Lastly Lumbares the arteries of the loins,* 1.39 γγγ, which going to the rackbones of the loins joint by joint, are distributed into the pe∣ritoneum or rim of the belly, and the mus∣cles growing to the rack-bones.

* 1.40These branches being issued forth, the trunk about the fifth rack bone of the loins, is divided into two branches SS,* 1.41 called the Iliacal, both which are again broken into two other, an inner branch T, and an outer one V. But before this division in the ve∣ry parting in twain of the Trunk arises sacra the holy artery δ,* 1.42 distributed into the holes of the Os sacrum or holy bone, to the marrow thereof.

* 1.43The inner Iliacal Artery, before it falls out of the peritonaeum, issues forth two propagations: from its outer side, that called glutaea,* 1.44 ε, distributed into the mus∣cles of the buttocks; from its inner side, that called Hypogastrica,* 1.45 ζ, going into the bladder and yard, and in women also to the bottom of the womb. After this it runs down, and sends forth the umbilical ar∣teries ηη,* 1.46 that tend upward near to the length of the great artery. The remain∣der under θ,* 1.47 taking to it a propagation from the outer Iliacal artery slips down through the hole of the share-bore into the Crus, the end of it joining about ο with the en∣ner muscle artery of the Crus ν.

* 1.48The outer Iliacal artery likewise be∣fore it is going forth of the peritonaeum, produces two. The first is called Epiga∣strica,* 1.49 ι, digested into the muscles of the Epigastrium, and the straight ones of the Abdomen, where it is joyned by inocula∣tion,* 1.50 κ, with the descending mammary ar∣tery d.* 1.51 The other called Pudenda Ι, goes to the privy parts.

* 1.52In this place the outer Iliacal artery having past the Peritoneum, enters the Crus, and begins to be called the Crural trunk, which issues out more propagations. The first is Muscula cruralis exterior, the outer muscle artery of the Crus,* 1.53 μ that is propagated into the muscles that cover the foreside of the Thigh-bone. The se∣cond is the inner musele-artery of the Crus,* 1.54 ν, digested through the third bending muscle of the thigh; and those muscles that are on the inside of the thigh; the ends of it are joyned with the ends of the inner Iliacal artery about ο.* 1.55 The third is Po∣plitea the ham-artery,* 1.56 π, running out into the muscles on the back-side of the thigh. The fourth is suralis the calf-ar∣tery ρρ,* 1.57 which is double, issuing out there, where the crural Trunk is hid betwixt the two lower heads of the Thigh, and spreading out on both sides in∣to the the joint of the knee, and the two heads of the first extending muscle of the foot.

* 1.58Here the great artery lyes in the ham, where it is divided into branches of une∣qual bigness.

* 1.59A sprig issuing from its outside, and reacht out to the fibula or lesser bone of the leg, betwixt the muscle that moves the foot outward, and the second bending one of the instep.* 1.60

The Trunk descending hy the back-side of the leg.

* 1.61A higher branch issuing out of the back-side of the trunk.

* 1.62A lower branch issuing out of the back-side of the trunk.

* 1.63The remainder of the trunk descending by the leg,* 1.64 which offers a little branch φ to the inner ancle.

* 1.65The division of the trunk χ, into an inner branch ψ that is propagated to the great toe,* 1.66 and the two next; and an outer, ω,* 1.67 propagated to the little toe, and the two next to that.
