Internal organization in the human jaw muscles.
The human jaw muscles are essential to mastication and play an important part in craniofacial growth. They contribute to dental and articular forces, deform the mandible, and, like other tissues, are subject to disorders, often manifested as pain. The literature describes how their contraction is controlled by the nervous system, and how their general structure and function contribute to cranio...
متن کاملJaw adductor muscles across lepidosaurs: a reappraisal.
The exact homologies of tetrapod jaw muscles remain unresolved, and this provides a barrier for phylogenetic analysis and tracing character evolution. Here, lepidosaur jaw muscles are surveyed using direct examination of species from 23 families and published descriptions of species from 10 families. A revised nomenclature is applied according to proposed homologies with Latimeria. Among lepido...
متن کاملJaw muscles of Old World squirrels.
The jaw, suprahyoid, and extrinsic tongue muscles were studied in 11 genera, belonging to five tribes, of Old World squirrels. Significant variation in most of the adductor muscles is evident. The most primitive state of sciuromorphy is seen in the African tree squirrels Paraxerus and Funisciurus, especially as reflected in the anterior deep masseter. A derived state of sciuromorphy is found in...
متن کاملTVR and vibration-induced timing of motor impulses in the human jaw elevator muscles.
In order to investigate myotatic reflex involvement in jaw muscle control, an analysis was made of the motor responses induced by mechanical vibration (120-160 Hz) of the jaw elevator muscles in healthy subjects. As seen in torque measurements and mean-voltage electromyographic (EMG) recordings, the vibration caused involuntary reciprocal changes in jaw muscle tone, the contraction force increa...
متن کاملEffect of bite force on the power spectrum of the surface electromyogram of human jaw muscles.
The frequency content of the surface electromyogram (EMG) of the anterior temporal and masseter muscles of 14 normal adults was obtained during maximum clench in intercuspal position, as well as at different bite force levels. Frequency analysis was carried out by computer using a fast Fourier transform algorithm to obtain the power-spectral density function and the power spectrum of the EMG si...
