    The glands are roundish, provided with small cavities lined with mucous membrane. In the thicker wall of these, which consists of fibullary connective tissue, are imbedded roundish folli- cles, similar to the solitary follicles of the intestines. These appear isolated on the palate, and on the posterior surface of the soft palate. Vessels of the Soft Palate. The arteria descendens, the pterygo-palatina, a branch of the in- ternal maxillary, descends through the pterygopalatine canal, sends palatine branches, through the posterior canals, to the soft palate and the tonsils. It anastomoses with the ascending pharyngeal artery, and proceeds through the palatine foramen to the hard palate, on which, as the anterior palatine artery, it runs close by the alveolar process arterially, and passing through the canalis incisivus, anastosmoses with the artery of the nasal septum. The arteria vidiane rises from the origin of the descending pala- tine, more frequently, also, directly out of the maxillary, passes backward with the nerves of the same name through the vidian canal, ramifies in the upper portion of the pharynx, and anasto- moses with the ascending pharyngeal artery. The ascending palatine artery (pharyngo-palatina) rises from the origin of the external maxillary artery, sometimes also from the ascending pharyngeal, and ascends outward, close by the pharynx, between the stylo-glottis and stylo-pharyngeus. It sup- plies these muscles, the soft palate, the mucous membrane of the throat in the vicinity of the eustachian tube, and anastomoses in the soft palate with the descending palatine artery. The tonsillar]} artery takes its origin on the inner side of the angle of the lower jaw, and ramifies on the lateral wall of the pharynx and tonsils. Small branches also pass from the lingual and pharyngeal arte- ries to the soft palate. Veins of the same name are continuous with those of the nasal mucous membrane and empty themselves into the internal max- illary plexus and the pharyngeal veins. The lymphatic vessels, like the veins, are diffused in greater numbers beneath the mucous membrane, and are continuous witli those of the roots of the tongue and nasal mucous membrane.
