CRANIAL NERVES. 163 Fig. 142. The inferior maxillary^ passes througli the foramen ovale, and gives ofi^jiumerous muscular branches^ to the masseter, buccal, and pterygoid muscles. The inferior dental^ is a large branch ; it enters the posterior mental foramen and supplies the teeth and mylo-hyoid muscle,^^ and part of it emerges upon the skin.^* It also gives off the superficial temporal nerve,^^ and the auricular branches, &c. The lingual, or gustatory,^^ enters the side of the root of the tongue, and is distributed to its papillae. It sends a branch to the submaxillary ganglion. 7th. Facial and auditory. — Both \ branches enter the internal meatus; the auditory is also called portio mollis, and is distributed to the internal ear. The facial is also called portio dura, and emerges from the temporal bone through the stylo-mastoid foramen. It penetrates the parotid gland, and is distributed by numerous branches upon the face, which are called ^^es anserinus. 8th. The glosso-pharyngeal^ ^ comes through the forame^i lacerum poste- rius, and curves forward to the side of the tongue, and is distributed about its root. It sends branches to the tonsils and pharynx,^^ and also one to the tym- panum, called Jacobson's nerve. It has near its root a small ganglion,'' called ^:>e- trosal, or Anderschian. The pjieumo- gastric having escaped from the cranium by the posterior foramen lacerum, or jugular foramen, presents a ganglionic enlargement^^ called plexus gangliformis. A small ganglion^*^ is also found upon that portion which passes through the foramen. It then descends within the sheath of the vessels of the neck, lying behind and between the artery and vein, and entering the thorax and abdomen, supplies the lungs and stomach, giving off the following branches: the sup)erior pharyngeal as
