    tendon of the temporal muscle from its insertion into the coro- noid process, and turn it upwards towards its origin: some ves- sels will be seen entering its under surface; these are the deep temporal. Then saw the ramus of the jaw across its middle, and dislocate it from its articulation with the temporal bone. Be careful in doing this to carry the blade of the knife close to the bone, lest any branches of nerves should be injured. Next re- move this portion of bone, and with it the external pterygoid muscle. The artery, together with the deep branches of the inferior maxillary nerve, will be seen lying upon the internal pterygoid. These are to be carefully freed of fat and cellular tissue, and then examined. Fig. 34. Ths internal maxillary artery, with its branches. 1. The external carotid artery. 2. The trunk of the transverse facial artery. 3. 4. The two terminal branches of the external carotid. 3. The temporal artery; and 4. The internal maxillary, the first or maxillary portion of its course: the limit of this portion is marked by an arrow. 5. The second, or muscular portion, of the artery ; the limits are bounded by the arrows. 6. The third, or pterygo-maxillary portion. The branches of the maxillary portion are, 7. A tympanic branch. 8. The arteria me- ningea media. 9. The arteria meningea parva. 10. The inferior dental artery. The branches of the second portion are wholly muscular, the ascending ones being distributed to the temporal, and the descending to the four other muscles of the inter-maxillary region, viz. the two ptery. goids, the masseter and buccinator. The branches of the pterygo-max- illary portion of the artery are, 11. The superior dental artery. 12. The infra-orbital artery. 13. The posterior palatine. 14. The sphenopala- tine, or nasal. 15. The pterygopalatine. 16. The Vidian. * The re- markable bend which the third portion of the artery makes as it turns inwards to enter the pterygo-maxillary fossa.
