The organs, having been removed, are placed on the board, œsophagus upward, and the tip of tongue toward the prosector. The =tongue= is then cut in the median line and the cut surfaces examined. Transverse cuts may be made when indicated. The uvula is then lifted up and examined; and the =tonsils= and =palate= next examined, the former by means of longitudinal incisions. The intestinal shears are now introduced through the fauces into the œsophagus and the left pillar cut between the uvula and the tonsil. The posterior wall of the =pharynx= and that of the =oesophagus= for its entire length is then cut in the median line, and these structures examined. After the examination of the larynx from above, the long blade of the intestinal shears is introduced into the =larynx= and =trachea=, and these are cut in the posterior median line into the right bronchus. The œsophagus is pulled to the left (prosector’s right) out of the way. The left bronchus is opened by a special incision to avoid cutting aorta and œsophagus. The larynx is now lifted up and held in both hands with the thumbs on the horns of the thyroid cartilage, and the fingers outside, and the larynx opened by forcibly bending back or breaking the cartilage, so that the entire interior of the larynx can be examined without touching the mucosa. The neck-organs are now turned over, with the aorta toward the prosector and the tongue pointing away. The right and left lobes of the thyroid are opened by oblique cuts running from above downward and inward, and the isthmus is cut sagittally. The =parathyroids= must be dissected out behind and below the thyroid, along the course of the terminal branches of the inferior thyroid artery. The =parotid=, =submaxillary= and =sublingual glands= and the =cervical lymphnodes= are opened by longitudinal cuts. The =aorta=, =carotids=, =jugulars= and their branches are opened with the curved or probe-pointed scissors. The =vagus=, =superior= and =inferior laryngeal nerves= and the =cervical sympathetic ganglia= are to be examined when the case requires it. The examination of the neck-organs then closes with the inspection of the =muscles= of the neck and the =cervical vertebrae=. If permission cannot be obtained for the complete removal of the mouth-organs, the neck-organs may be removed by cutting them transversely against the vertebræ between the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage and then stripping them from the vertebræ and removing them as in the method given above. The skin-incision in such cases need not be carried higher than the collar-line, the skin of the neck being loosened by a subcutaneous dissection.
