The m. levator veli palatini arises from the inferior part of thecartilaginous auditory tube and from the apex of the petrous portion 158 MYOLOGY of the temporal bone. It is inserted into the aponeurosis of thesoft palate. Action.—Elevates the soft palate. Nerve Supply.—Accessory nerve through the pharyngeal plexus. The m. tensor veli palatini arises from the cartilaginous portionof the auditory tube and from the scaphoid fossa of the pterygoidprocess and the spine of the sphenoid bone. It is inserted into thedorsal margin of the soft palate and into the palatal Fig. 124.—The constrictors o- the pharynx seen from behind. The posterior part of theskull has been removed. *, A bundle of the superior constrictor arising from the base ofthe skull. (Sobolta and McMurrich.) Action.—Renders the palate tense. Nerve Supply.—Trigeminal nerve through the otic ganglion. The m. glossopalatinus (see lingual muscles). The m. uvulae is really a pair of muscles and these are the onlyintrinsic muscles of the palate. Each arises from the posteriornasal spine and palatal aponeurosis and is inserted into the tissuesof the uvula. LATERAL AND PREVERTEBRAL CERVICAL MUSCLES 159 Action.—Elevates the uvula. Nerve Supply.—Accessory nerve through the pharyngeal plexus. THE LATERAL AND PREVERTEBRAL CERVICAL MUSCLES The m. scalenus anterior arises from the anterior tubercles of thetransverse processes of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth cervical
