Not illustrated. 1837 Excerpt: ...The direction of its fibres is expressed in the figure. The exterior surface is covered by the sterno-thyroideus, the thyroid gland, and the primitive carotid artery. The posterior surface is connected with the rectus capitis anticus major and longus colli muscles, and with the anterior vertebral ligament by cellular tissue. The interior surface is covered by the constrictor medius, palato-pharyngeus, and the stylo-pharyngeus muscles, the mucous membrane of the pharynx, and the thyroid and cricoid cartilages. This muscle contracts that part of the pharynx which it covers. CONSTRICTOR PHARYNG1S MEDIUS. This muscle, b, is of a triangular shape situated at the middle part of the pharynx. It is attached anteriorly to the greater and lesser horn of g, the hyoid bone, and to the stylo-hyoidean ligaments; posteriorly to its fellow, in a tendinous line at the back of the pharynx, and superiorly it is fixed to the basilar process of the occipital bone. Observe the direction of its fibres in the figure. This muscle is connected on its outer surface with the hyo-glossus muscle and the lingual artery, and by the inferior constrictor below; in the rest of its extent it is connected with the muscles of the deep cervical region and the anterior vertebral ligament. The inner surface is covered by the mucous membrane of k, the pharynx, the stylopharyngeus, palato-pharyngeus, and the superior constrictor muscles. This muscle compresses that part of the pharynx which it invests. CONSTRICTOR PHARYNGIS SUPERIOR. Like the other constrictors, this muscle, a, is broad and thin; its figure is nearly quadrilateral. It is partly covered by the middle constrictor, and its connexions are most extensive. Superiorly, it is attached to the occipital bone before the large foramen; lower do...
