That which comes from without. This term has been used for muscles, which surround certain organs and attach them to the neighbouring parts; in order to distinguish them from other muscles, which enter into the intimate composition of those organs, and which have been named intrinsic. Thus, there are extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the tongue, ear, &c.
