The only muscle, which properly belongs to the hairy scalp, is a single broad digastric muscle, viz: Occipito-frontams. It arises fleshy and tendinous, from the transverse ridge of the occipital bone, as far forward as the mastoid process; forming a broad thin tendon, which covers the whole upper part of the cranium; it is Inserted, fleshy, on each side, into the orbicularis palpebrarum, the skin of the eye-brows, and the internal angular process of the os frontis and os nasi. The tendon of this muscle adhering firmly to the skin, and but loosely to the pericranium, enables it to raise the eye-brows, and corrugate the skin of the forehead. The muscles of the external ear are not always so distinct as to admit of a clear demonstration. (1) Attollens Aurem, or the Superior auris--Arises from the tendon of the occipito-frontalis, and from the aponeurosis of the temporal muscle. Inserted into the upper part of the root of the cartilage of the ear, opposite to the antihelix. Used to draw the ear upwards. (2.)
