    AN EXPOSITOEY LEXICON OF MEDICINE AND THE ALLIED SCIENCES. VOIi. XV. Ziing'uaden'tal'w (L. lingua; dens, a tooth.) Relating to the tongue and the teeth. Ii. let'ters. Those formed by the com- bined use of the tongue and teeth, as cl and t. Xiin'g'uae. Genitive singular of Lingua. Ii. deten'tor. (L. detentus, part, of deti- neo, to hold down.) A Tongue-depressor. Ii. exonco'sis. See Exoncosis lingucB. Jm, scal'pium. (L. scalpo, to scrape.) A Tongue-scraper. Ziing'USefoliate. (L. lingua, a tongue; folium, SL leaf. F. linguifolie.) Having tongue- shaped leaves, as the Crassula lingucefolia. Iiin'^U£eform. Same as Linguiform. Xiin'g'uaform. Same as Linguiform. Iiin'g'ual. (L. lingua, the tongue. F. Ungual; I. linguale ; S. lingual; Gr. die Zunge hetreffend.) Relating to, or connected with, the tongue. Ii. ar'tery. (F. artere linguale; Gr. Zungenschlagader.) A branch of the external carotid artery. It runs inwards and forwards, and is at first comparatively superficial, is then crossed by the ninth nerve, and by the digastric and stylo-hyoid muscles. It now passes beneath the hyoglossus, resting on the middle constrictor and genio-hyoglossus muscles. Its branches are the superior hyoid, dorsalis linguae, sublingual, and ranine. It may arise from a common trunk with the facial artery, or with the superior thyroid artery, or with both these arteries; and it may give off as a branch the superior laryngeal, the submental, or the ascending palatine arteries. Ii. bone. A synonym of the Liyoid bone. Ii. §ran'g-lion. A synonym of the Gan- glion, submaxillary. Ii. gran'g-lion, soft. The Ganglion lin- guale molle. Ii. g-lands. See Glands, lingual, and G.s, lingual, posterior. Ii. g-y'rus. The Gyrus occipito-temporalis medialis. Ii. icbtbyo'sis. See Lchthyosis of the tongue. la, let'ters. Those pronounced by the use of the tongue chiefly, as ? and r. Ii. mus'cle. See Lingualis muscle. ]L. nerve. (F. nerf lingual; G. Zungen- nerv.) A branch of the inferior maxillary division of the fifth pair of cranial nerves. It supplies the front portion of the tongue, especially the fungiform and conical papilla), the anterior palatine arch, the tonsil, and the floor of the mouth, and gives twigs to the submaxillary ganglion, the hypoglossal nerve, and the sub- lingual gland. It is both a tactile and a sensory nerve; being like other branches of the fifth, a nerve of common sensation, and being indebted to the chorda tympani for the fibres which ad- minister to the sense of taste ; it contains vaso- motor, but no motor fibres. It commences under cover of the external pterygoid muscle, is soon joined by the chorda tympani, passes between the internal pterygoid muscle and the ramus of the lower jaw to the side of the tongue, crosses Wharton's duct, and runs to the apex. According to Schiff it is the nerve of taste. Also, a synonym of the Hypoglossal nerve. Ii. nerve, me'dian. (L. medius, in the middle.) The Hypoglossal nerve. Ii. nerve of elg^litli pair. The Glosso- pharyngeal nerve. Ii. nerve of fifth pair. The L. nerve. Ii. nerve of Hirseh'feld. A branch of the facial nerve leaving the trunk just after it escapes from the stylo-mastoid foramen, and supplying the stylo-glossus and palato-glossus muscles. Ii. nerve of va'g^us. (G. Zungennerv des herumschweifenden Nerv.) Luschka's tei-m for a slender branch given ofi from the pharyn- geal plexus, which receives its fibres from the pharyngeal branches of the glosso-pharyngeal and pneumogastric nerves, and joins the hypo- glossal nerve. Ii. nerves of g-los'so-pharyng-e'al. (G. Zungendste de Zungenschlundkopfnerv.) The two terminal branches of the glosso-pharyngeal nerve beneath the hyoglossus muscle; one sup- plies the papillae circuravallatae and the mucous membrane of the posterior third of the tongue; and the other supplies the mucous membrane of the hinder half of the side of the tongue, anasto- mosing with the lingual nerve. Ii. nerves of hypog^los'sal. (G. Zungendste des Zungenmuskelnerv.) The ter- minal branches of the hypoglossal nerve which supply the muscles of the tongue. Ii. papillae. See Papillce linguales. Ii. paral'ysis. See Tongue, paralysis of. Ii. plex'us. (L. plexus, a weaving. F. plexus lingual; G. Zungengeflecht.) A plexus formed at the root of the tongue by the in- tercommunication of branches of the glosso- pharyngeal nerve, the terminal branches being distributed to the mucous membrane of the posterior third of the tongue. ]L. psori'asis. (^topa, the itch.) A
