By its deep surface, with the Stylohyoid ligament, the Geniohyoglossus, Lingualis, and Sliddle constrictor, the lingual vessels, and the glossopharyngeal nerve. The Chondroglossus (m. choiidroglossus) is a distinct muscular slip, though it is sometimes described as a part of the Hyoglossus, from which, however, it is sepa- rated by the fibres of the Geniohyoglossus, which pass to the side of the pharynx. It is about three-quarters to an inch in length; it arises from the inner side and base of the lesser cornu and contiguous portion of the body of the hyoid bone, and passes directly upward to blend with the Intrinsic muscle fibres of the tongue, between the Hyoglossus and Geniohyoglossus. The Styloglossus (m. styloglossus), the shortest and smallest of the three styloid muscles, arises from the anterior and outer side of the styloid process, near the apex, and from the stylomandibular ligament, to which its fibres, in most cases, are attached by a thin aponeurosis. Passing downward and forward between the internal and external carotid arteries, and becoming nearly horizontal in its direction, this muscle divides upon the side of the tongue into two portions—one longitudinal, which enters the .^-9.
