In either case, the temporal muscles extend to the top of the parietal where they almost join.

However, the lateral slips of the temporal muscles are thicker and stronger in black bears.

And it was there; the slight but regular twitching of the temporal muscles which I had dreaded.

Flat temporal muscles fanned across her cheekbones and temples.

They do, though, still have the temporal orbit (which resembles an opening) and the temporal muscles.

Contraction of the temporal muscle retrudes and elevates the mandible.

The temporal muscle, also known as the temporalis, is one of the muscles of mastication.

Yount says tension headaches with these characteristics are often caused by inflammation of the temporal muscle, which is used for chewing.

The temporal nerves innervates the temporal muscle or the skin and can be either:

This is supported by the toothless rostrum which would make catching prey with a pincer movement difficult, and the small size of the temporal muscles.

There was a depressed zygomatic arch impinging on the temporal muscle, so that she was unable to open or close her mouth without pain.

The temporal muscle is covered by the temporal fascia, also known as the temporal aponeurosis.

As with the other muscles of mastication, control of the temporal muscle comes from the third (mandibular) branch of the trigeminal nerve.

The skull examined is missing the right eye socket and opening for the temporal muscles, but the condition of the skull is relatively unfractured.

With progression the illness involves the pectoral girdle and trunk muscles and finally the masseters and temporal muscles.

The view is that the brain misinterprets information--for example from the temporal muscle or other muscles--and interprets this signal as pain.

Already in 1903, he argued that Mongols, "the least mixed" people of the "yellow race", were "brachycephalic" because they consumed raw meat, and thus required stronger temporal muscles.

The very robust lower face, with a large attachment surface for the masseter muscle and a sagittal crest for attachment of the temporal muscle, indicates a heavy masticatory apparatus.

The posterior lobe of the buccal fat pad runs from the infraorbital fissure and temporal muscle to the upper rim of the mandible and back to the mandibular ramus.

In Schmidt's theory, the schema (psychology) contains the generalized rules that generate the spatial and temporal muscle patterns to produce a specified movement (Shummway-Cook and Woollacott 2001, p. 32).

By placing a finger on the zygomatic arch and alternately opening and closing the mouth, one can discern the presence of the temporal fossa (with its large temporal muscle and its fibres passing below the Zygomatic arches).

Another evolutionary trend in families is the progressive reduction of masseter and temporal muscles, resulting in relatively weak bites, but compensated by the increase in the size of the neck muscles to lowering the head and through the fangs in their preys.

In the vipers, which have the most highly developed venom delivery apparatus, the venom gland is very large and is surrounded by the masseter or temporal muscle, which consists of two bands, the superior arising from behind the eye, the inferior extending from the gland to the mandible.

It was only after much trouble that we succeeded in laying bare some portions of the temporal muscle which appeared of less stony rigidity than other parts of the frame, but which, as we had anticipated, of course, gave no indication of galvanic susceptibility when brought in contact with the wire.
