The EMG data on macaques indicate that, in all six subjects, the masseter, anterior temporalis, and posterior temporalis muscles are very active during incision. These data are in general agreement with inferences on muscle function that have been drawn from the comparative anatomy and behavior ...
temporalis, medial pterygoid, and lateral pterygoid. The actions of the muscles of mastication open and close the mouth by influencing motion on the mandible. The four muscles separate into a superficial group involving the masseter and temporalis muscles, and a deep group involving the...
17]. In this study the threshold intensity for eliciting the H-reflex in the temporalis muscle was closer to the intensity for eliciting the M response in the masseter muscle, as previouslydescribed[17]. Therefore simultaneously recording H-reflexes in the masseter and temporalis muscles is not...
A spasmodic contraction of the temporal muscles following a downward tap on the loosely hanging mandible; it is seen in lesions of the corticospinal tract. The American Heritage® Medical Dictionary Copyright © 2007, 2004 by Houghton Mifflin Company. Published by Houghton Mifflin Company. All ri...
Mastication muscles and temporomandibular joints in terms of the physiological function of stomatognathic system The authors present the anatomo-physiological connections in the stomatognathic system. They also describe the role of the following muscles: masseter, temporalis, lateral pterygoideus, inferior...
EMG has also been used to assess the masticatory function of mandibular implant-retained overdentures. The electrical output of a muscle, measured by electromyography, is proportional to the energy consumed to produce contractions. The masseter and anterior temporalis muscles on both sides were evaluat...
Single electrical stimuli to the gums and mucosa inside the mouth elicit two successive exteroceptive suppressions (ES1 and ES2) in the voluntary electromyogram of the masseter and temporalis muscles in normal man. The same afferent axons appear to be involved in the two effects, as indicated by...
Temporalis and masseter muscle function during incision in macaques and humans Most previously published electromyographic (EMG) studies have indicated that the temporalis muscles in humans become almost electrically quiet during inci...
