A Reference handbook of the medical sciences : embracing the entire range of scientific and practical medicine and allied science. ligament may be said to arise from the spina tym-panica major and to be inserted along the neck of themalleus all the way from the processus Folianus to thehead of the hammer. A portion of it also runs fromthe processus Folianus to the short process of the ham-mer below, and to the membrana tympani above, therebyaiding the division between the anterior and posteriorpockets of the membrana tympani; another fold of thesame ligament runs from the processus Folianus down-ward, with a free margin, as far as the line correspond-ing with the inserion of the tensor tympani muscle. Thisaids in making the limiting wall between the anteriorpocket of the drum head and the tympanic round ligamentum mallei superius descends ob-liquely downward and outward from the tegmen tym-pani to the head of the hammer. Its function is to pre-vent the malleus from being forced outward. The ligamentum mallei externum is a very importantcollection of satin-like, tendinous fibres, which radiate.
