The functional morphology of the anterior masticatory apparatus in tree-gouging marmosets (Cebidae, Primates).
Although all genera of Callitrichinae feed on tree exudates, marmosets (Callithrix and Cebuella) use specialized anterior teeth to gouge holes in trees and actively stimulate exudate flow. Behavioral studies demonstrate that marmosets use large jaw gapes but do not appear to generate large bite forces (relative to maximal ability) during gouging. Nonetheless, the anterior teeth of marmosets lik...
متن کاملThe morphology of the masticatory apparatus facilitates muscle force production at wide jaw gapes in tree-gouging common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus).
Common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) generate wide jaw gapes when gouging trees with their anterior teeth to elicit tree exudate flow. Closely related cotton-top tamarins (Saguinus oedipus) do not gouge trees but share similar diets including exudates. Maximizing jaw opening theoretically compromises the bite forces that marmosets can generate during gouging. To investigate how jaw-muscle arch...
متن کاملCraniofacial adaptations induced by chincup therapy in Class III patients.
The purpose of the present study is to examine the effects of an orthopedic force produced by chincup treatment in patients with Class III malocclusion. Anteroposterior maxillary and mandibular changes were examined as were changes in the vertical dimension. Further, the possibility of posterior displacement of temporomandibular joints in treated Class III subjects was evaluated. Serial lateral...
متن کاملThe functional correlates of jaw-muscle fiber architecture in tree-gouging and nongouging callitrichid monkeys.
Common (Callithrix jacchus) and pygmy (Cebuella pygmaea) marmosets and cotton-top tamarins (Saguinus oedipus) share broadly similar diets of fruits, insects, and tree exudates. Marmosets, however, differ from tamarins in actively gouging trees with their anterior dentition to elicit tree exudates flow. Tree gouging in common marmosets involves the generation of relatively wide jaw gapes, but no...
متن کاملMolecular adaptations of lipolysis to physical activity
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the context of lipid metabolism research in physical activity, lipolysis, lipolysis hormone regulation and the fate of lipolysis products in exercise, fatty acid transporters, some genes involved in lipid metabolism, effect of resistance activity on lipolysis, adaptations of adipose tissue due to physical activity, lipoproteins and apoproteins...
