Natural theology : or, evidences of the existence and attributes of the Deity : collected from the appearances of nature . omplete perforationof the buccinator muscle, into the mouth ; andthere discharges its fluid very copiously.* V. Another exquisite structure, differing indeedfrom the four preceding instances in that it doesnot relate to the conveyance of fluids, but stillbelonging, like these, to the class of pipes, or con-duits of the body, is seen in the larynx. We allknow that there go down the throat two pipes, * Tab. XX. Fig. 1. a dissection to exhibit the parotid 2. explains the former ; a, a, the integuments turned back ; b,the parotid gland; c, its pipe or duct passing over the masseter,then perforating d, the buccinator muscle, and opening into themouth opposite the second molar tooth. The flow of saliva intothe mouth is incessant: and it is one of the most useful digestivefluids. It is favourable to the maceration and division of the food,it assists it in deglutition and transformation into chyme ; it alsorenders more easy the motions of the tongue in speech and insinging.
