In the Pig, the lungs comport themselves like those of Euminants. In the Dog and Cat, there is no well- marked fissure in either lung towards the Fig. 241 heart, which causes that organ to be almost completely enveloped by pulmonary tissue, â * The left lung has three lobes, and the right four, separated from one another by deep ^IIHI-^ furrows, which are generally prolonged to the root. The lobules are small, very close, and the pulmonary tissue is exceedingly compact. (The pulmonary vesicles are pro- portionately larger than in Kuminants.) COMPAKISON OF THE LARYNX, TRACHEA, AND tUNQS OF MAN WITH THOSE OP ANIMALS. 1. Larynx.âThe human larynx is pro- portionally shorter and wider than that of animals. The principal cartilages are those which have been already studied; but there are, besides, small cartilaginous bodies, to which special names have been given : these are the cartilages of Santorini and of Wris- berg. The facets on the cricoid for articu- lation with the thyroid are placed on the small comua detached from the external face of the cartilage. The thyroid is wide, and protects the anterior face of the larynx; the angle formed by the alse, which is more marked in the male than the female, is very prominent, and is named the pomum Adami. The epiglottis is short, broad in its middle, and rounded at its summit, something like that of the Camivora. The muscles are the same in number and disposition as in these animals: but there is distinguished an oblique arytenoideusâa fasciculus of the arytenoid, which crosses its fellow to form an X in passing from the upper border of one arytenoid cartilage to the lower border of the other. 471 The annexed figure shows.
