. Cunningham's Text-book of anatomy. Anatomy. Nodules of Epithelium lymph tissue Septum Transversus linguae Longitudinalis inferior. Mucous glands Fig. 893.—A, Transverse, and B, Longitudinal Vertical Section through the Tongue (Krause) ; C, A Lymph Follicle from Posterior Part op the Tongue. (Macalister, slightly modified.) the styloglossus, and below from the longitudinales inferiores. This cortex surrounds a central or medullary portion, divided into two lateral halves by the septum, and formed in great part by the transverse and vertical fibres, and also by the fibres of the genio- glossi ascending to the dorsum. The muscular fibres derived from these various sources end by being inserted into the deep surface of the mucous membrane. The detailed description of the extrinsic and intrinsic muscles will be found on page 462. The septum is a median fibrous partition found in the medullary portion only, and easily exposed by separating the two genioglossi on the inferior surface of the tongue. Anteriorly it usually extends to the apex; whilst posteriorly it grows gradually narrower, and expanding transversely at the same time, it passes into a broad sheet (the hyoglossal membrane) which is united to the upper border of the hyoid bone, and gives attachment to the posterior fibres of the genioglossus. From the sides of the septum the fibres of the transverse muscle of the tongue arise. The mucous membrane on the anterior two-thirds of the dorsum, and on the free margins, is firm and closely adherent to the underlying muscular substance, the fibres of which are inserted into it. On the posterior third of the dorsum, and on the inferior surface, it is neither so firm nor so closely united to the muscular substance, from which it is separated in both of these situations by a layer of submucous Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrat
