The jaw adductor muscles, masseter and temporalis, are small and architecturally simple. |
|
The first masticatory jaw motions involve irregular contractions of both the masseter and temporalis muscles. |
|
There are thirty-two segments devoted to a particular muscle, such as temporalis, masseter, sternocleidomastoid, biceps brachii and so on. |
|
A case has been reported of displacement of the parotid gland on one side, with the entire gland being located on the masseter muscle. |
|
Jaw closing is the result of the action of the jaw elevators, i.e., masseter, temporalis and medial pterygoid muscles. |
|
The skull has an broad, tilted zygomatic plate that serves as the attachment point for the lateral branch of the masseter muscle. |
|
Enormous temporal fossae for very strong jaw muscles, formed by just one of the reptilian jaw muscles, which has now become the mammalian masseter. |
|
Other episodes have been attributed to anatomic abnormalities, including a patulous Stensen's duct masseter muscle hypertrophy and buccinator muscle weakness. |
|
In mammals the temporalis is divided into a deep temporalis proper and a more superficial masseter muscle. |
|
The main muscle used in chewing by rodents is the masseter, and the rodents can be divided into several groups based on exactly how they use these muscles. |
|
The masseter passes from the angular process of the mandible to the zygomatic arch. |
|
Our objective was to study the changes in the masseter muscles after unilateral exodontia. |
|
The presence of hypertrophic masseter muscles is another warning sign of the impact of bruxism. |
|
There is progressive loss of oral manipulation of food, associated with increasing weakness and atrophy of the tongue, masseter muscles and soft palate. |
|
The Sciuromorpha, such as the eastern grey squirrel, have a large deep masseter, making them efficient at biting with the incisors. |
|
Muscle spindle afferent input to motoneurons in human masseter. |
|
Masseter hypertrophy may become apparent in persistent grinders. |
