Magnus, feu Interims. Levator Ani. Levator Ani. Inserted into the os pubis, about the middle of the fymphyfis to the upper border of the foramen thyroideum, and joining ol the pubis with the ifchium, into the tendinous membrane that covers the obturator interims, and coccygeus muicles, into the fpinous proeels of the ifchium, and a little into the facro ifcheatic liga- ment. Its fibres run down like rays, from a circumference to a centre, and are Inserted into the fphincter ani, acceleratores urinae, and anterior part of the two lafi bones of the coccygis; it lur- rounds the extremity' of the reflum, neck of the bladder, proltate gland, and part of the veficulae femi- nales: fo that its fibres behind and below the os coccygis joining it with its fellow, together very much refemble the fliape of a funnel. Use. To draw the re6tum upwards, after the evacuation of the faeces; to afiifl: in fhutting it; to fuflain the contents of the pelvis; and to help in cjefting the femen or urine and contents of the reftum. EreBor Clitoridis. Ifchio- Clitoridien. EreBor Clitoridis. Firjl Mufcleof the Clitoris. Ifchio- Cavernofus. EreBor Clitoridis• Inserted by a tendinous or aponeurotic portion into the tuberofity of the ilchium, and Inserted into the crus and body of the clitoris. Use. Draws the clitoris downwards and backwards. Anulo- Syndefmo Clitoridien. SphinBer Vagina. ConflriBor Cunni. Second Mufcle of the Clitoris. SphinBer Vagina. SphinBer Vagina. Inserted into the fphinfler ani and polterior fide of the vagina, near the perineum, runs up the fide of the vagina, near its external orifice, covers the corpus cavernolum vaginae, and is Inserted into the crus and body of the clitoris. Use. Contracts the mouth of the vagina, and comprelfes its corpus cavernolum. Occipito Frontalis. Occipito Frontal. Epicranius. Occipito Frontalis. Frontalis id Occipitalis. Occipitalis id Frontalis. Inserted flelhy into the fuperior tranfverfe line of the os occipitis, and a little above it (fame on the other fide) is continued forwards by a broad thin tendon, which covers the upper part of the cranium on each fide to the attollens aurem (the which is inferted into it) into the zygoma, and covers part of the aponeurofes of the temporal mufcle. About two inches from the os nali it becomes flelhy, defeends with flraight fibres, and is Inserted into the orbicularis palpebrarum Ikin of the eye-brow, covers the upper part of the corrugator lupercilii. The fibres intermix with this mufcle, the compreffor naris, and elevator labii fuperioris algeque nali. Use. When this digafiric mufcle aids, it pulls the Ikin of the head backwards, and at the fame time it draws up and wrinkles that of the forehead, being antagonized by the corrugator fupercilii. *7- Cutaneo- Corrugator Mufculusverus Frontalis, feu Mufculus Sourcillier. Supercilii. Corrugator Supercilii. Coiteri. , Corrugator Supercilii. Inserted flelhy into the internal angular procefs of the os frontis, into the fynarthrofis of the ofla nali with the o» frontis, and into a fmall portion of the orbit: Irom this the fibres run up by the lide, and over part of the orbicularis palpebrarum, and go more or lets, in the direction of the eye-brow; it is Inserted into the eye-brow, and inferior part of the occipitofrontalis. Us*. To fmooth the Ikin of the forehead, by pulling it down after the action of the occipito frontalis; and when it acts more forcibly, it wrinkles the Ikin of the front, between the lupercilia, as when we frown or knit our brows.
