    carried to riffhc out into the Larynx, as ftie is accidental, and proceeds from another. AncUhere^ h t Up! Nerves of the fixr Pair. Some Mufcles ‘ fore Mufcles are alwaies fee one agavnft another, as SSvftwo branches of Nerv^ • . fivp as the temporal Mnfcle. .... { The Middle of the Mufcle, which they The middle of \ call the bdiy or body, doth for the a Mufcle I part fwell, and is flelhy i fome tew ' I have a tendon in the middle, as the ' lilufculus DiE^aftricus which opens the nether Jaw, and the lecond Pair be! onging to the Os Hyaides. the lecon Mufcle, is by fome The end of a I called Tewio. by others Chorda, and dfo^ Mufcle how 1 neurofjs. And the end is fomtimes round, ' fomtimes broad, fomtimes long, other whiles ftiort j fomtimes one, other- whiles more then one.. Now this end, or tendon, is comfnonly conceived to be made up of a Concourfo of Fibres, Liffaments, and very Imal Nerves, which by little and one Mv. Fo. M kpown hy Galen arid other Anato^ mijls ? Now the work of this Motion or Adtion, which is leeri in the parts, whercinto the Mufcles are planted, doth vary according to the Variety of Parts. For in the throat it is fwallowing ; in the Arme bending andi ftretching forth, Sec. Yea and fomtimes one follows upon another. For the Mufcles of the Cheft, when they aft, do diverfly widen or contraA the fame, they draw in Air, or expel Fuliginous footy vapors, and caufeRefpiration. ^ , This Motion of the Mufcles, is fomtimes | ^r^nd that- called Voluntary, fomtimes Animal, to 1 Voluntary. diftinguilh it from the natural, in Brutes „• Spontaneous. For we can haften, brfldcken, or flop this morion as we: pleafe. And in this motion, the will of a Man or the Appetite of Brutes, is like an Horfe- man guiding and putting his Horfe forward; the Nerves refemble the Reins of the Bridle, and the Mufo - bejejes arelikethe Horfe. There.refomefin»IarM^ S dU flips,whicLe nrer b_y a Li_ Whether theHead of a Mufcle be •void offenfe ? If it have Motion ? Whether the end be thicker then f^eHead. cleft after the fame manner. Confequently they De cermine. ^ Tendon hath the fenfe of Feeling, but not the Head, which they account void of fenfe and Motion. But this is falfe; becaufe the tendinous head of a Mufcle, when it is prickr, breeds Convulfions and cruel Symptomes, juft as if the Head of tbeJVl^ cle were Prickt. Moreover, the beginning of a Mufcle hath motion, and therefore fenfe. it hath motion, becaufe a IVlufcle, even iti its Head, is cojitraded and expanded, efpe- ciallywhenitisfleftiy. ^ ^ , . 2. They fay alfo that the End is thicker then the Head ; which not- wiihftatiding is fomtimes true and fomtimes falfe, as in theMufculous I J^iceps, and others. 2 They will havStheTendon to be fofter then the Ligament ( as they call it) or the beginning of the Mufcle, namely fo much fofter, as it is hard^th^ a Kerve,^But the contrary is true, viz. that the 1 endon is harder then the beginning, becaufe it many ,*^inaes changes into a boney and griftley fubftance, as in the feet of feathered.fowle; but the beginning doth not fo. Moreover, I d.eily, that Nerves Whether the 1 enter into the Tendon.. For A^uapen- Nerves go into I dent and ^iolanus have obferved,by tre- tht Tendon, i quent diffeftions, that when they arc ^ entred into the flefti of the Mufcle, they are fptead out into many little branches, which go in¬ to a certain Membranous flexure, and fo vanifti or end, before they come to the tendon. Moreover, a ■ Nerve is foft, how therefore can it be mingled with an bard laody } Neither is the end lefs deftiture of fenfe, then the Head, feeing there come no more Nerves to it then the other: for the Nerve being impldnted, tends downwards,and not upwards. _ . . , • . The AUiori (f a Mtfcle is voluntary Motion. . The Motion of a Mufcle, is three- folcL I. A Mufcle is contrafted within it Idf, towards the Head; and when this is done the oppofite Mufcle is relaxed and looP ned. 2. Being contra(^d, it continues fo. And thefe two motions are priwary, perfe and not acciden¬ tal i. After coniraQ^ion it is relaxed, which motion The aBion of a Mufcle is Motion. Mufcles of the Cheft, and Eye-lids, whofe motion is Dartly voluntary and partly natural, becaufe they ma¬ ny times perform their adions, when we have no thought nor will thereto. The life of all the Parts of the Mufcle, is | The ufi. after the fame manner^ as in every perfed I Organ. For i. There is that by which,the aftionis irimarily and ofitfelf performed, and iris the Fibrous flefh; [ but efpecially according to the Fibres, for the flefh being wounded according to the length of the Fibres, the motion remains unhurt, but it is notfo, when the fibres are wounded] for the moft part tha belly of the Mufcle, which is moft of all contrafted,. Hence it is that if you cut a Mufcle ofin the beginning end or middle, in a living perfon.orin one that is dead itpurfes itfelf round and draws it felfinto itfelflikea bau .* as alfo it doth, being caft into the water. nus counts the principal part to be the tendon, upon which the j\dion depends, becaufe it hath a peculiar fubftance of its own, fuch as is no where to be feen ouc of a Mufcle. But this is rather true of fibrous flefh* which is in all Mufcles, where as in fome there is no tendon. 2. That without which it cannot be perfor¬ med as the Nerve; For if the Nerves be hurt,.the, Mufcle loofes its motiony . 5. That by which it is more ftfongly and better performed, as the tendons and tendinous fibres. Wherefore thofe * Mufcles buly^^ which perform conti¬ nual and ftro4g motions, have recei¬ ved united and Confpicuous tendons. . For theMufcles do either move them-I , felves only, as thofe of the Fundarnent, and Bladder 5 or they move alfo the skin, as in the Lips, forehead and face : and in thefe there is no tendon to be feen ; or they mo.ve x bone, and. thefe for the moft part evi¬ dently end in tendons, becaufe the ftrong motion of an heavy member did require as much ; or they mpvc fome other light thing, as theMufcles of the tongue and Larynx ( fome of which have tendons and fonae not) of the Eyes, Scones and Y aifd. 4.
