Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Positional Relationship Between the Orbicularis Oculi and Zygomaticus Complex Muscles by Ultrasonography: New Anatomical Insights for Crow's Feet Injection

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The orbicularis oculi muscle (OOc) is strongly associated with facial aging as its contraction causes the formation of crow's feet. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injection is a representative treatment targeting muscle. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the anatomical relationship between the OOc and the zygomaticus complex muscles, and ...

Evaluation of Masseter Muscle Thickness among Iraqi Adult Subjects with Dentate and Unilateral Partial Edentulism: An Ultrasonographic Study

open access: yesMedical Journal of Babylon
Background: Mastication muscles and teeth functions play a very significant role in the equilibrium of occlusal and its function. Masseter muscle is considered the most observable of mastication muscles, which is regarded as one of the action signs of ...

Myositis ossificans of the masseter muscle: a rare location. Report of a case and review of literature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Myositis Ossificans is a rare heterotopic bone formation within a muscle being the masticatory muscles exceptionally involved. In most cases there is a previous trauma, bearing in mind that there may be many other etiologies.
