Bones of the Face — the bones of the face shown in this plate are the nasal bone, forming the arch of the nose, and malar, which gives prominence to the cheek, the upper jaw, containing the upper teeth, in the lower jaw, containing the under teeth.

The Spinal Column — that portion of the spinal column noticed in the illustration consists of the cervical vertebrae.  Each vertebra is composed of a body, with seven spinous processes projecting from it.  The body is perforated by a ring, through which is seen running the spinal cord, giving off nerves between each separate bone.  A ring of cartilage is seen inserted between each separate vertebra, the object of which is to prevent any jar reaching the brain when we run, jump, walk or stumble.

This wraps up the discussion of chart 1.  Nothing sticks out at me from the section as we finish the description of chart 1.  As a possible exception in the fact that they’ve ended this section without any conclusion for follow-on or marks.  It seems that the author often times took extra steps to say more than was necessary in insert their awe inspired view of the world on the reader and seems to have forgotten to take the opportunity to close out this section with lofty language.  I’m sure we’ll get a larger taste of this in the sections and chapters in books to follow.
