Our results demonstrate that the anterior deep masseter of the rat is a suitable preparation for investigating masseter function in vitro. The surprising absence of age-related changes in composition and function is consistent with some, but not all, data on ageing rodent limb muscles. The results...
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 ...

In muscles from males, nearly 80% of fibers are of the IIa phenotype. To evaluate the functional significance of these sex differences, we used finely graded intramuscular microstimulation to study the contractile properties of masseter motor units in >6-month-old male and female rabbits. Twitch ...
The masseter muscles aid in helping us chew. They are located by the sides of the face, right by the jawbones. While many muscles in the body are used for multiple functions, the masseter muscles are unique in that their sole function is for mastication (chewing). The masseter muscles sho...
If a person can clench its teeth continuously and voluntarily it has a diagnostic significance since the peripheral fatigue is that important factor in the masticatory muscles activity, which is in direct correlation with the function of the masticatory system. The aim was to compare the obtained ...

Masseter Muscle | Action, Function & Anatomy from Chapter 2/ Lesson 11 26K Discover the masseter muscle. Find out the origin and insertion points of this facial muscle used in chewing and speaking. Know the anatomy of the mentalis muscle and how it interacts with other muscles. ...
The mean LD, APD, TD, and SMA values of the healthy and denervated masseter muscles were obtained and compared. Stomatognathic function was clinically examined through mean mouth opening (MMO) and Maximum Bite Force (MBF). Furthermore, facial symmetry analysis (FSA) was carried out using ...
