The only one shall notice is the internal
maxillary. In dissecting, the order for expo.
sing this artery, we cut through the gygo-
matte arch at each end and turn it down,
Then divide the temporal muscle at its in
serton into the cornnoitl process and turn II
up divide the ramus Of the jaw, dlsartleu-
late it and remove it entirely, thus the yes
sci is brought into view.
1t will be seen to commence IN the sub
stance Of the parotid gland, near the meatus
externus to pass obhquely forward behind
the neck OF The lower jaw then between the
two pterygoid muscles, often winding around
the outer surface Of the external pterygold
at its origin. From this it proceeds to the
tuberosity of the superior maxila and event.

~ tossa to terminate by sending oil several
branches. These branches supply the teeth
and are the superior dental or ayeoiar, the
Iinfra orbitar and inferior dental or maxllla-
nv. The superior dental artery comes oil
/ from the internal maxillary at its entrance
into the ptergo.maxillary iossa, u then winds
around the maxillary tuberoslty, sending
branches through the posterior dental canals
/ to supply the molars and the antrum, and H.
naIy proceeds forwards upon the aveoar
processes, supplying their cavities and the
gum. These branches enter the roots Of the
teeth at the apex Of their roots and supply
the pnips.
The inira-o rbital artery arises from the
internal maxillary in the upper part OF the
pterygo, maxillary fossa, enters the mira or
bitai canal, trayerses It's whole extent along
! with the mira .orbital nerve, and energies up
on the Jaw at the infra.orbital foramen, run
n;ng parallel with the facial and transverse
facial arteries. In this | may be slightly
mistaken, but they are generally considered
as an astomosng. This artery, the mira
orbital, supplies the Rscisors, cuspldatl and
lining membrane.
The inferior dental arises from the inter
, nal maxilary behind the neck Of the lower
jaw, descends to the posterior mental fora
men, which il enters along with the denta
nerve thence it passes along the canal be-
meath the roots of the teeth. sending up int
each, in its course, small twigs which supply
I the inolars. When opposite the hienspid'

to the symphysis, supplying the anterior
teeth, while the second branch passes 0ut a

of the internal maxillary artery, returns the
