An electromyographic study of mastication in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta).

چکیده

Twenty-eight monkeys (Macaca mulatto) were monitored during 84 electromyographic recording sessions to study the function of certain masticatory and facial muscles during mastication. During the period of closing muscle function, strong activity was noted in the temporal and masseter musculature and in the superior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle. The relative participation of the elevator muscles differed among the four age groups. During the period of opening muscle activity, the suprahyoids and the inferior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle functioned during the depression of the lower jaw. A comparison of the results of this study with the numerous human EMG studies of mastication indicate a basic similarity in muscle function during chewing in the two species, although age-related differences in specific muscle group activities do exist.

The independent functions of the two heads of the lateral pterygoid muscle.

Investigations on the role of the lateral pterygoid muscle in mandibular movements have been limited due to difficulties in obtaining consistent neuromuscular recordings in human subjects. The rhesus monkey was used as a substitute experimental animal. Thirty-three Macaca mulatta were monitored in 113 electromyographic recording sessions. Two distinct functional patterns were identified from th...

Electromyography of the mandibular postural position in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta).

The mandibular postural position is attained when all of the muscles involved in mandibular movement show no other activity than that which is necessary to hold the mandible in a balanced position against gravity. Mandibular position is influenced by the fusimotor system through psychic input and through such stimuli from peripheral receptors as those of the temporamandibular joint, periodontal...
