masseter

The masseter is a good muscle to test for tetany.

By this definition, the masseter or jaw muscle is the strongest.

It covers the Masseter, and is firmly connected to it.

Non-surgical techniques are essentially limited to cases in which the masseter is enlarged.

In human anatomy, the masseter is one of the muscles of mastication.

An electromygraphic feedback technique for teaching voluntary relaxation of the masseter.

This vessel rests on the masseter, and is accompanied by one or two branches of the facial nerve.

The inferior border, short, thick, and arched, has attached to it some fibers of the masseter.

The medial surface is concave, and affords attachment to the masseter.

Polysomnography shows increased masseter and temporalis muscular activity during sleep.

The medial masseter muscle goes through the eye socket, a feature unique among mammals.

The masseter is a thick, somewhat quadrilateral muscle, consisting of two parts, superficial and deep.

The affected muscles include the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles.

Both their medial and lateral masseter muscles are displaced forward, making them adept at gnawing.

The masseter, or cheek muscle, opens and closes the jaw and allows chewing.

The superficial masseter extends forwards along the zygoma.

The postero-inferior or zygomatic border affords attachment by its rough edge to the Masseter.

Their robust skull architecture and shortened face has been thought to be related to increased masseter muscles used to chew foods.

The lateral masseter extends forwards onto the rostrum.

This prevents them from being able to chew efficiently, but makes it easier for their powerful masseter jaw muscles to hold struggling prey.

For the mouth to close it requires the following muscles: the masseter, temporalis, and medial pterygoid muscle.

What distinguishes the masseter is not anything special about the muscle itself, but its advantage in working against a much shorter lever arm than other muscles.

The rostrum is unmodified and the masseter originates on the ventral zygomatic surface.

I had entered a world of fearsome and lovely language - temporalis, masseter, pterygoid, all terms for jaw muscles.

Ideally prior to selection of a treatment, the patient is examined to determine whether the cause is due to the bone, the masseter or both.
