LIGATION OF THE EXTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY. 453 Divide the skin, platysma, cellular tissue, and aponeu-rosis, avoiding the superficial veins, and expose the ante-rior edge of the sterno-cleido-mastoid ; seek for the inter-space between this muscle and the sterno-hyoid andsterno-thyroid muscles, draw the latter muscles inward,and the artery will be exposed with the jugular vein exter-nal to it; the descendens noni nerve lying upon its sheathshould be displaced outward. The sheath is next pickedup and opened and the artery is separated from it witha director; the artery lies internally, the internal jugularvein externally and somewhat more superficial, and thepneumogastric nerve lies between the two, and is moredeeply placed. The sympathetic nerve is posterio
