CHAP. VI.) TEE CAT'S ALIMENTARY SYSTEM. 171 The parts destined to subdivide the food, the teeth, have been already described.* The adaptation of the sectorial teeth for the division of flesh is manifest and admirable. The canines are not used for dividing the food. They are weapons for seizing and destroying prey, or for combat. The incisors are of little functional utility, but they help to scrape off flesh and sinews from the surfaces of bones. The upper true molars are so small as to be of little service, but their shape and position adapt them for crushing any suitably sized object (such as a small piece of bone) which may have been taken into the mouth. § 9. The tongue fills up the cavity of the mouth between the horizontal rami of the mandible. It is a mus- cular mass, coated with mucous mem- brane, attached behind to the hyoid and below to the membrane of the floor of the mouth, but with a free apex. It is long and flat, with nearly parallel sides, tapering slightly in front and more so at its posterior attachment. Its fleshy mass is principally composed of transverse fibres which pass directly right and left from a central, vertical membranous septum. This mass of trans- verse fibres is traversed by ascending fibres of the genio-hyoglossus muscle, and is coated externally by longitudinal fibres which form its cortical muscular layer. Above and below, these fibres belong to two muscles ; one, called the lingualis superficialis superior, pro- ceeds forwards from the basi-hyal, and the other, called the lingualis superficialis inferior, passes thence on each side of the ascending fibres above mentioned. The lateral longitudinal fibres come from the stylo-glossus and hyo-glossus. This mass of muscular fibres enables the tongue to move freely in all directions and to modify its own shape. Imbedded in the areolar tissue of the septum and near the lower surface of the tongue is a spindle-shaped body (formed of fibrous tissue, fat and muscular fibre), connected anteriorly with the mucous membrane of the tongue, and tapering off behind till it is lost in the tissue of the septum. This body is the lytta or "worm."
