چکیده

Patterns of activity of selected muscle groups which function during the oral phase of swallowing were analysed electromyographically in 33 monkeys (Macuca mulatta) during a total of 113 recording sessions. Salivary, water and masticatory swallows were studied. The activity of the suprahyoid muscle group was relatively constant in each animal during all types of swallows. However, three patterns of muscle activity of the other masticatory muscles were identified. In the first pattern (pattern A), the suprahyoids usually fired concurrently with the superior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle with little or no elevator activity evident. In the second pattern (pattern B), the temporal muscle, masseter muscle and superior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle fired concurrently with the suprahyoids. In the third pattern (pattern C), elevator and lateral pterygoid activity preceded the suprahyoid burst. The inferior head of the lateral pterygoid was not active in any swallowing pattern. About 60-70 per cent of the salivary swallows were of pattern A. Most water-swallows were of patterns B and C, while those swallows associated with mastication were entirely of pattern C.

Electromyography of the mandibular postural position in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta).

The mandibular postural position is attained when all of the muscles involved in mandibular movement show no other activity than that which is necessary to hold the mandible in a balanced position against gravity. Mandibular position is influenced by the fusimotor system through psychic input and through such stimuli from peripheral receptors as those of the temporamandibular joint, periodontal...

Myocardial Infarction in a Rhesus Monkey

Myocardial necrosis can be result from a number of causes including nutritional deficiencies, chemical and plant toxins, ischemia and metabolic disorder. The outcome of myocardial necrosis varies depending on the extent of the damage (Donald 2001, Jubb 1993, Radostits 1994, Vanvaleet 1986). Myocardial infarction without demonstrable of atherosclerosis were reported in a rhesus macaque (Gonder 1...
