14. The pterygoid muscles (Fig. 66). Remove the mucosa of the roof of
the mouth, especially at the sides of the soft palate, and the two
pterygoid muscles (p. 111) are exposed. The lower jaw may be removed on
one side to get at their origin.
(The muscles of the soft palate (p. 230, and Fig. 66, _d_ and _e_), and
the superior constrictor of the pharynx (p. 233, and Fig. 66, _f_) may
be observed at this point, if desired.)
