The arteries of tie left side of the head and neck. See plate III. The left carotid passing up the neck equal in size to the , furnished the greatest part of the blood for the rigtit siae. (Plate 3.). This plate wiU give some idea of the success which attended the injection of the left siof the head and neck. Most of the more considerable vessels are here delineated, Dui ibeauty of the preparation far surpasses the plate, in the minuteness with whicn xnc veare fUled. All of these are preternaturally enlarged Only a few of the arteries wmcnmost enlarged, will be referred to in the explanation of this plate. There is no vancijthe course or distribution of the arteries. Fig. 1. The two portions of the stemo-cleido mastoideus muscle. 2. Left carotid artery, as large as the innominata. 3. Left subclavian artery, external to the scaleni muscles. 4. Superior thyroid artery. 5. Labial artery much enlarged. 6. Mental artery twice its common size. 7.
