VI. The arteries are to be considered, and their di∣stribution,

1. As to their nature action and use, and they are hollow vessels, consisting of a double membrane, and endued with disten∣sion and contraction, that the thinner and more spirituous bloud may be carried from the heart, to preserve life in all parts; as also their differences from magnitude, progresse; site, and connexion:

2. The ascendent trunk of the great artery, or superiour to the head, with its division into the subclaves, frō the inferiour part of which ariseth the superiour intercostale; and from the superiour the verte brale mammarie, and muscula; with the axillary artery, frō the infe∣riour part of which before it passeth to the arme, arise the internal scapulary, superiour thoracick and inferiour; and from the higher part, the external scapulary; and the carotides, with the exte∣riour ramus, or of the face; and interiour or encephalick, with its greater and lesser ramus:

3. The division of the axillary artery in

the arme, into the exteriour or radieus, and interiour or cubiteus:

4. The descendent trunk of the great artery, and its propagation through the midle and lower venter, sc. the eight intercostals, two phrenicae, one caeliack, with its right ramus, and its propagines from the higher part, sc. the pylorick and two cystick gemellae, and from the lower the epiplois dextra, intestinal, and gastroepi∣plois dextra; and the left ramus, called the splenick artery, with its propagines from the upper part the gastrick, and epiplois sini∣stra in the inferiour, with the use of the right ramus, and six fold use of the left; also the mesenterica superior, two emulgents with their use, two spermaticks, mesenterica inferior & its two uses, the lumbares, with the arteriae sacrae, and propagi∣nes of the iliack arteries, sc. of the interiour or lesser, the muscula and hypogastrica, and arteria umbilicalis; of the exteriour or greater, the epigastrica and pudenda:

5. The propagines of the exteriour iliack ramus in the crus, sc. the propagines of the crural trunk before divided, the exteriour crural muscula and internal, poplitea and sural; yet there is not alwayes the same propagation of arteries, but differ as the veines:

6. The ••ena arterialis and ar∣teria venalis, with the original, insertion, distribution and use.
