  • The Muscular System Views
    1 PRE-LAB EXERCISES Before coming to lab, get familiar with a few muscle groups we’ll be exploring during lab. Using Visible Body’s Human Anatomy Atlas, go to the Views section. Under Systems, scroll down to the Muscular System views. Select the view Expression and find the following muscles. When you select a muscle, note the book icon in the content box. Selecting this icon allows you to read the muscle’s definition. 1. Occipitofrontalis (epicranius) 2. Orbicularis oculi 3. Orbicularis oris 4. Nasalis 5. Zygomaticus major Return to Muscular System views, select the view Head Rotation and find the following muscles. 1. Sternocleidomastoid 2. Scalene group (anterior, middle, posterior) 2 IN-LAB EXERCISES Use the following modules to guide your exploration of the head and neck region of the muscular system. As you explore the modules, locate the muscles on any charts, models, or specimen available. Please note that these muscles act on the head and neck – those that are located in the neck but act on the back are in a separate section. When reviewing the action of a muscle, it will be helpful to think about where the muscle is located and where the insertion is. Muscle physiology requires that a muscle will “pull” instead of “push” during contraction, and the insertion is the part that will move. Imagine that the muscle is “pulling” on the bone or tissue it is attached to at the insertion. Access 3D views and animated muscle actions in Visible Body’s Human Anatomy Atlas, which will be especially helpful to visualize muscle actions.

    EDS Awareness in the TMJ Patient TMJ and CCI with the EDS Patient “The 50/50” Myofascial Pain Syndrome EDNF, Baltimore, MD August 14,15, 2015 Generation, Diagnosis and Treatment of Head Pain of Musculoskeletal Origin Head pain generated by: • Temporomandibular joint dysfunction • Cervicocranial Instability • Mandibular deviation • Deflection of the Pharyngeal Constrictor Structures Parameters & Observations . The Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) is a description of pain tracking in 200 Ehlers-Danlos patients. Of the 200 patients, 195 were afflicted with this pain referral syndrome pattern. The MPS is in direct association and correlation to Temporomandibular Joint dysfunction and Cervico- Cranial Instability syndromes. Both syndromes are virtually and always correlated. Evaluation of this syndrome was completed after testing was done to rule out complex or life threatening conditions. The Temporomandibular Joint TMJ Dysfunction Symptoms: Deceptively Simple, with Complex Origins 1) Mouth opening, closing with deviation of mandibular condyles. -Menisci that maybe subluxated causing mandibular elevation. -Jaw locking “open” or “closed”. -Inability to “chew”. 2) “Headaches”/”Muscles spasms” (due to decreased vertical height)generated in the temporalis muscle, cheeks areas, under the angle of the jaw. 3) Osseous distortion Pain can be generated in the cheeks, floor of the orbits and/or sinuses due to osseous distortion associated with “bruxism”.

Rodella Section of Anatomy and Physiopathology, Department of Clinical and Experimental Sciences, University of Brescia, Brescia, Italy [Received: 1 June 2016; Accepted: 18 July 2016] Background: Additional extrinsic muscles of the tongue are reported in literature and one of them is the myloglossus muscle (MGM). Since MGM is nowadays considered as anatomical variant, the aim of this study is to clarify some open questions by evaluating and describing the myloglossal anatomy (including both MGM and its ligamentous counterpart) during human cadaver dissections. Materials and methods: Twenty-one regions (including masticator space, sublin- gual space and adjacent areas) were dissected and the presence and appearance of myloglossus were considered, together with its proximal and distal insertions, vascularisation and innervation. Results: The myloglossus was present in 61.9% of cases with muscular, ligamen- tous or mixed appearance and either bony or muscular insertion. Facial artery pro- vided myloglossal vascularisation in the 84.62% and lingual artery in the 15.38%; innervation was granted by the trigeminal system (buccal nerve and mylohyoid nerve), sometimes (46.15%) with hypoglossal component. Conclusions: These data suggest us to not consider myloglossus as a rare ana- tomical variant.

Methods: ninety patients (64 women, 26 men; mean age: 39.36 ± 15.40 years), including 45 patients with symptoms of TMD after whiplash injury (wTMD), and 45 age- and sex- matched controls with TMD due to idiopathic causes (iTMD) were included. TMD was diagnosed using the study diagnostic criteria for TMD Axis I, and MRI findings of the TMJ and masticatory muscles were investigated. To evaluate the severity of TMD pain and muscle tenderness, we used a visual analog scale (VAS), palpation index (PI), and neck PI. Results: TMD indexes, including VAS, PI, and neck PI were significantly higher in the wTMD group. In the wTMD group, muscle tenderness was highest in the masseter muscle (71.1%), and muscle tenderness in the temporalis (60.0%), lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) (22.2%), and medial pterygoid muscle (15.6%) was significantly more frequent than that in the iTMD group (all p < 0.05).

  • The Mandibular Nerve - Vc Or VIII by Prof
    The Mandibular Nerve - Vc or VIII by Prof. Dr. Imran Qureshi The Mandibular nerve is the third and largest division of the trigeminal nerve. It is a mixed nerve. Its sensory root emerges from the posterior region of the semilunar ganglion and is joined by the motor root of the trigeminal nerve. These two nerve bundles leave the cranial cavity through the foramen ovale and unite immediately to form the trunk of the mixed mandibular nerve that passes into the infratemporal fossa. Here, it runs anterior to the middle meningeal artery and is sandwiched between the superior head of the lateral pterygoid and tensor veli palatini muscles. After a short course during which a meningeal branch to the dura mater, and the nerve to part of the medial pterygoid muscle (and the tensor tympani and tensor veli palatini muscles) are given off, the mandibular trunk divides into a smaller anterior and a larger posterior division. The anterior division receives most of the fibres from the motor root and distributes them to the other muscles of mastication i.e. the lateral pterygoid, medial pterygoid, temporalis and masseter muscles. The nerve to masseter and two deep temporal nerves (anterior and posterior) pass laterally above the medial pterygoid. The nerve to the masseter continues outward through the mandibular notch, while the deep temporal nerves turn upward deep to temporalis for its supply. The sensory fibres that it receives are distributed as the buccal nerve. The 1 | P a g e buccal nerve passes between the medial and lateral pterygoids and passes downward and forward to emerge from under cover of the masseter with the buccal artery.

  • Atlas of the Facial Nerve and Related Structures
    Rhoton Yoshioka Atlas of the Facial Nerve Unique Atlas Opens Window and Related Structures Into Facial Nerve Anatomy… Atlas of the Facial Nerve and Related Structures and Related Nerve Facial of the Atlas “His meticulous methods of anatomical dissection and microsurgical techniques helped transform the primitive specialty of neurosurgery into the magnificent surgical discipline that it is today.”— Nobutaka Yoshioka American Association of Neurological Surgeons. Albert L. Rhoton, Jr. Nobutaka Yoshioka, MD, PhD and Albert L. Rhoton, Jr., MD have created an anatomical atlas of astounding precision. An unparalleled teaching tool, this atlas opens a unique window into the anatomical intricacies of complex facial nerves and related structures. An internationally renowned author, educator, brain anatomist, and neurosurgeon, Dr. Rhoton is regarded by colleagues as one of the fathers of modern microscopic neurosurgery. Dr. Yoshioka, an esteemed craniofacial reconstructive surgeon in Japan, mastered this precise dissection technique while undertaking a fellowship at Dr. Rhoton’s microanatomy lab, writing in the preface that within such precision images lies potential for surgical innovation. Special Features • Exquisite color photographs, prepared from carefully dissected latex injected cadavers, reveal anatomy layer by layer with remarkable detail and clarity • An added highlight, 3-D versions of these extraordinary images, are available online in the Thieme MediaCenter • Major sections include intracranial region and skull, upper facial and midfacial region, and lower facial and posterolateral neck region Organized by region, each layered dissection elucidates specific nerves and structures with pinpoint accuracy, providing the clinician with in-depth anatomical insights. Precise clinical explanations accompany each photograph. In tandem, the images and text provide an excellent foundation for understanding the nerves and structures impacted by neurosurgical-related pathologies as well as other conditions and injuries.

  • Appendix B: Muscles of the Speech Production Mechanism
    Appendix B: Muscles of the Speech Production Mechanism I. MUSCLES OF RESPIRATION A. MUSCLES OF INHALATION (muscles that enlarge the thoracic cavity) 1. Diaphragm Attachments: The diaphragm originates in a number of places: the lower tip of the sternum; the first 3 or 4 lumbar vertebrae and the lower borders and inner surfaces of the cartilages of ribs 7 - 12. All fibers insert into a central tendon (aponeurosis of the diaphragm). Function: Contraction of the diaphragm draws the central tendon down and forward, which enlarges the thoracic cavity vertically. It can also elevate to some extent the lower ribs. The diaphragm separates the thoracic and the abdominal cavities. 2. External Intercostals Attachments: The external intercostals run from the lip on the lower border of each rib inferiorly and medially to the upper border of the rib immediately below. Function: These muscles may have several functions. They serve to strengthen the thoracic wall so that it doesn't bulge between the ribs. They provide a checking action to counteract relaxation pressure. Because of the direction of attachment of their fibers, the external intercostals can raise the thoracic cage for inhalation. 3. Pectoralis Major Attachments: This muscle attaches on the anterior surface of the medial half of the clavicle, the sternum and costal cartilages 1-6 or 7. All fibers come together and insert at the greater tubercle of the humerus. Function: Pectoralis major is primarily an abductor of the arm. It can, however, serve as a supplemental (or compensatory) muscle of inhalation, raising the rib cage and sternum. (In other words, breathing by raising and lowering the arms!) It is mentioned here chiefly because it is encountered in the dissection.

  • The Muscles of the Jaw Are Some of the Strongest in the Human Body
    MUSCLES OF MASTICATION The muscles of the jaw are some of the strongest in the human body. They aid in chewing and speech by allowing us to open and close our mouths. Ready to unlock the mysteries of mastication? Then read on! OF MASSETERS AND MANDIBLES The deep and superficial masseter muscles enable mastication (chewing by pulling the mandible (jawbone) up towards the maxillae. Factoid! Humans’ jaws are able to bite with DEEP a force of about 150-200 psi (890 MASSETER Newtons). In contrast, a saltwater crocodile can bite with a force of 3,700 SUPERFICIAL psi (16, 400 Newtons)! MASSETER MAXILLA (R) 2 MANDIBLE MORE MASSETER FACTS The deep masseter’s origin is the zygomatic arch and the superficial masseter’s origin is the zygomatic bone. Both masseters insert into the ramus of the mandible, though the deep masseter’s insertion point is closer to the temporomandibular joint. The mandible is the only bone in the skull that we can consciously move (with the help of muscles, of course). 3 TEMPORALIS The temporalis muscles sit on either side of the head. Their job is to elevate and retract the mandible against the maxillae. They originate at the temporal fossa and temporal fascia and insert at the coronoid process and ramus of the mandible. 4 LATERAL SUPERIOR PTERYGOIDS HEAD The lateral pterygoids draw the mandibular condyle and articular disc of the temporomandibular joint forward. Each lateral pterygoid has two heads. The superior head originates at the sphenoid and infratemporal crest and the inferior head originates at the lateral pterygoid plate.

  • Palatoglossus Muscle Stimulation for Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
    Palatoglossus Muscle Stimulation for Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Summary A Vanderbilt researcher has developed a device to stimulate the palatoglossus muscle in order to treat sleep apnea. This has the potential to treat patients who have failed to succeed with current sleep apnea treatments. Addressed Need Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) has been established as an effective form of treatment for patients with obstructive sleep apnea who cannot tolerate positive airway pressure. HNS works by stiffening the tongue muscles to increase pharyngeal airway size. However, patients with significant retropalatal airway collapse are not candidates for HNS offered in the US. This new treatment would provide these patients with an alternative therapy method to combat sleep apnea. Unique Features Electrical stimulation of the nerve to the palatoglossus muscle Potential to dilate retropalatal space and reduce obstructive sleep apnea Can treat patients who may be unsuccessful with other sleep apnea treatments Technology Description The palatoglossus muscle forms the anterior tonsillar pillar. It approximates the tongue and soft palate, sealing off the oral cavity and dilating the retropalatal space. This muscle is innervated by branches of the pharyngeal plexus and functions independently of the hypoglossal nerve innervating the remaining tongue musculature. Electrical stimulation of the nerve to the palatoglossus muscle has the potential to dilate the retropalatal space and reduce the burden of obstructive sleep apnea. Technology Development Status The treatment process has been designed, and physiological studies are pending. Cadaveric studies are being completed to evaluate the accessibility of the palatoglossus muscle through the neck. Intellectual Property Status A patent application has been filed.
