The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

Masticatory muscles pain and dysfunction [PDF]
Balkan Journal of Dental MedicineMasticatory muscles dysfunction is the most frequent damage to them that is encountered in everyday prosthetics. The most frequent type of muscle dysfunction can also be accompanied by limitation of the mobility of the mandible, and difficulty in chewing.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Muscle architecture is a major determinant of muscle performance and, in mammalian lineages, has been correlated with both feeding ecology and locomotor behaviors. Over the past decade, contrast‐enhanced micro‐CT (DiceCT) has emerged as an alternative to traditional dissection‐based measurement.

Physical and anatomical characteristics of the masticatory muscles in camels (Camelus dromedarius) [PDF]
Iraqi Journal of Veterinary SciencesThe current study aims to understand the dynamics of the masticatory muscles during closure and opening actions and assess the functional architecture of the various chewing muscles in camels. Twelve healthy adult camel heads of different sexes and ages (

Mandibular bone effects of botulinum toxin injections in masticatory muscles in adult
, 2020 OBJECTIVE: Botulinum toxin (BTX) is injected into masticatory muscles to treat various conditions. Animal studies have demonstrated bone loss at the condylar and alveolar regions of the mandible after BTX injection into masticatory muscles.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The human mandibular symphysis concentrates multiaxial loads during function and remodels throughout growth, but the precise mechanisms underlying cortical bone shape during growth remain relatively unexplored. Approaches based solely on thickness or external cortical contours provide only partial insights and do not capture the functional ...

Involvement of IL-1 in the Maintenance of Masseter Muscle Activity and Glucose Homeostasis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Physical exercise reportedly stimulates IL-1 production within working skeletal muscles, but its physiological significance remains unknown due to the existence of two distinct IL-1 isoforms, IL-1α and IL-1β.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract In a large sample of adult crab‐eating macaques, we quantified sexual dimorphism in size, shape, and covariance across the whole skull and among anatomical regions of the cranium and mandible. All regions showed significant mean sex differences, but the magnitude of size and shape dimorphism varied substantially.
