The Heart is the only Muscle in which [?]
have been discovered and that only by those who have
accurately dissected for that Purpose, but from the
discharge of large Quantities of Lymph which is often
observed to take place after large wounds in the Muscles
render it extremely probable that they are largely supplied
with this kind of Vessels

The Nerves with which the Muscles are furnished
are much more conspicous than the [?]
und are observed to enter their Substance in pretty
large Trunks, after which they divide into a very
great Number of Branches which in their Distributi-
on become so exceedingly small that it is impossible
to trace their Extremities - from the great
number of them some have imagined that the cellular
Tissue which envelops the Muscles and surrounds their
elementary fibres was formed entirely by them,
but this is by no means probable as their Distribution
in the muscular fibres is more consistent with the
Use which we have reason to think they are subservient
The Sensation and irritability of the [?]
Muscles also take their Names from the parts they occupy, from
their figure, their Origin & Insertion, the Parts to which
they belong, their Bellies, Heads & Tails, their Size, & any other Property
