the unpaired growth on the floor of the mouth in humans and other vertebrates. In fishes the tongue is a fold of the mucous membrane; it has no muscles (except in dipnoans) and moves with the entire visceral skeleton when the sublingual-branchial apparatus moves. In amphibians numerous mucous...
The tongue is made up of two types of muscles: extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic muscles originate from elsewhere in the body and attach to the tongue. They connect with surrounding bones and help the organ move up and down, from side to side and in and out. The tongue's extrinsic ...
Sophisticated voluntary movements of the tongue are essential to speech articulation and swallowing in humans. Voluntary tongue movements are finely controlled by communications between the cortex and tongue muscles. A large number of previous studies have reported that functional connections between the cor...
Our current understanding of the contributions of specific tongue muscles (TOs) to precise movement patterns is limited. Likewise, there is still little information regarding the orientation of histologic muscle fibers of the tongue in humans, especially between men and women. Thus, the aim of this...
The tongue consists of a body and root and is attached by muscles to the hyoid bone below, the mandible in front, the styloid process behind, and the palate above, and by mucous membrane to the floor of the mouth, the lateral walls of the pharynx, and the epiglottis. A median fold ...
These findings suggest caution in labeling the "rest" position of the tongue and indicate that further study of the relationship between tongue position and orofacial pains in needed. 展开 关键词:Masticatory Muscles Neck Muscles Temporomandibular Joint Tongue Humans Electromyography Analysis of Variance ...
“The sixth sick sheik’s sixth sheep’s sick” throws the brain into a tizzy as it tries to coordinate the muscles that produce speech. When those sounds are made by muscles that are close together, the control messages may get jangled en route between the brain and the mouth. The resu...
In the present study, GTF is adapted to segment the genioglossus and inferior longitudinalis tongue muscles from super-resolution 3D MR images. However, poor visibility of tongue muscle boundaries and presence of reconstruction artifacts, such as intensity mismatches, blur, blank image regions, etc...

They are most commonly found in and along the fascial planes of the neck muscles but can involve other structures, including the oral cavity, nose, nasopharynx or paranasal sinuses. An unusual case of an extra-abdominal desmoid tumor is presented and a review of the anatomical, clinical and ...
