THE ANATOMY AND DISEASES OF THE NECK AND CHEST. In order to understand the proper conformation of these parts, differing so materially as they do in a kindly feeding and an unprofitable beast, and differing, too, so much in various breeds, each excellent in its way, we must have recourse to two anatomical plates, which include, as much as possible, the whole muscular system of the ox. 1. Orbicularis oris (the ring-shaped muscle of the mouth). This muscle is found within the border of the lips, and constituting their principal substance and thickness, forming two semi-ovals, and united together at the angle of the lips. It is large and mixed with tendinous fibres, because the lips are powerfully employed in the ox in grasping and assisting in tearing off the food, 2. The elevator of the upper lip, and angle of the nose. 3. The Zygomalicus (arising near the yoke-formed arch under which the temporal muscle passes) lies along the middle of the side of the face; it also assists in the motion of the lips, and particularly in retracting the angle of the lips. This is particularly developed in the ox, for it has much to do in ths gathering of his food. 4. The depressor of the lower eyelid, a sub-cutaneous muscle of considerable development. 5. The depressor of the lower lip, lying along the side of the lower jaw, and going to the inferior lateral part of the under lip, and to separate the under lip from the upper. 6. Ohicularis palpebrarum (the ring-shaped muscle of the lids), employed in keeping the eyes open. When this muscle ceases to act the eye closes, from the elasticity of the cartilage at the edge of the lid. 7. The levator of the upper eyelids. 8. The depressor of the ear. This is a singular muscle, lying immediately under...
