These data are in general agreement with inferences on muscle function that have been drawn from the comparative anatomy and behavior of primates, but they do not agree with previous experimental data. The reason for this disagreement is probably due to differences in the experimental procedure. In...
The proportions of fibers of different phenotypes in the rabbit masseter muscle differ strikingly in adult males and females. Muscles from females contain similar proportions of small fibers that express both the slow/β and cardiac α myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms and larger fibers containing ...
The aim of this work is to review the relationship between the function of the masseter muscle and the occurrence of malocclusions. An analysis was made of the masseter muscle samples from subjects who underwent mandibular osteotomies. The size and proportion of type-II fibers (fast) decreases ...
Related to Masseter muscle:temporalis muscle mas·se·ter (mə-sē′tər, mă-) n. A thick muscle in the cheek that closes the jaws during chewing. [New Latinmassētēr, from Greekmasētēr, massētēr, frommasāsthai,to chew.] ...
Before surgery, normal masseter muscle function was demonstrated by bite-force measurements and recordings of electromyographic activity. After staining for myosin ATPase activity, the relative mean areas of muscle fibres were: type I 82.9%, type IM 9.5% and type II 8.3%. The intraindividual (18...
The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of utilizing the TS and AT in conjunction with surface electrodes as a method for assessing masticatory muscle function. Ten normal subjects were instructed to exert brief isometric contractions at various levels, and the TS and AT were ...
A microarray study showed an increase of developmental myosin heavy chain (MyHC) mRNA in the masseter muscle after surgery. The aim of the study was to determine the expression of the embryonic MYH3 and perinatal MYH8 for use as potential marker for muscle adaptation after orthognathic surgery....

Walking, running, and typewriting are examples of activities that require large numbers of complex muscle coordinations that have become automatic. Nerve pathway of a simple reflex. When the sensory nerve ending is stimulated, a nerve impulse travels along a sensory (afferent) neuron to the ...
