The anatomist's vade mecum : a system of human anatomy . from the auricularis mag-nus, and from the nervi moUes accompanying the external carotidartery. The submaxillary gland is supplied by the branches of thesubmaxillary ganglion, sympathetic, and by filaments from the mylo-hyoidean nerve; and the subhngaal by filaments from the submaxillaryganglion and gustatory nerve. The pharynx (^apvy^, the throat) is a musculo-membranous sac,situated upon the cervical portion of the vertebral column, and extend-ing from the base of the skull to apoint corresponding with the cricoidcartilage in front, and the fifth cer-vical vertebra behind. It is com-posed of mucous membrane, muscles,vessels, and nerves, and is investedby a strong fascia, situated betweenthe mucous membrane and muscles,which serves to connect it with thebasilar process of the occipital boneand with the petrous portions of thetemporal bones. Upon its anteriorpart it is incomplete, and has open-ing into it seven foramina, viz.— Posterior nares, tubes, two,Mouth,Larynx,. The Posterior nares are the twolarge openings at the upper andfront part of the pharynx. On each side of these openings, and slightly above the posterior termination ofthe inferior turbinated bone, is the irregular depression in the mucousmembrane, marking the entrance of the EustacJiian tiihe.
