The third of fifty-one plates first published in Steven Blankaart's De nieuw hervormde anatomie ofte ontleding des menschen lichaams, Amsterdam 1686, with a Latin edition appearing the following year. The plates are made up of uncredited reduced copies of previously published illustrations, several to a page. In the notes to this plate in James Drake's Anthropologia nova (London 1707, 2 vols), where the Blankaart plates were published in an appendix to the first volume, the figures are credited to Bartholin and Willis. The two figures of Kerckring (6 and 7) in the plate published in Drake and in the 1687 edition of Blankaart's Anatomia reformata are not included in this issue of the plate
