![The muscle!^ of the tongue (rnusculi lingua*). —The muscular tissue of the tongue is generally divided into that which belongs to the extrinsic muscles and that wdiich is intrinsic to the tongue itself. The extrinsic muscles—stylo-glossal, hyo-glossal, genio-glossal and chondro- glossal—were examined at earlier stages in the dissection. The intrinsic muscular fibres are longitudinal, transverse and vertical in direction. In the horse a very inconspicuous layer of loose connective tissue in N. lingualis. M. styloglossus.

Fig. 28.—Lateral aspect of the pharynx, larynx and tongue. the median plane, and separating the muscles of the two halves of the organ, is all that represents the lingual f^eptum^ (septum linguse). Arteries and nerves of the tongue.—The lingual artery has been traced into the tongue previously (page 64), and all that now remains to be done is to determine the ending of its smaller twigs in the mucous membrane, &c. The lingual ramus of the glosso-pharyngeal nerve supplies the mucous membrane of the posterior part of the tongue, and branches of the hypoglossal nerve should be found entering the various muscles. ^ Septum or s(rptum [L.], a partition.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29820066_0099.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
