SCHON The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. 1968 Publications of the United States National Museum The scientific publications of the United States National Museum include two series, Proceedings of the United States National Museum and United States National Museum Bulletin. In these series are published original articles and monographs dealing with the collections and work of the Museum and setting forth newly acquired facts in the fields of anthropology, biology, geology, history, and technology. Copies of each publication are distributed to libraries and scientific organizations and to specialists and others interested in the various subjects. The Proceedings, begun in 1878, are intended for the publication, in separate form, of shorter papers. These are gathered in volumes, octavo in size, with the publication date of each paper recorded in the table of contents of the volume. In the Bulletin series, the first of which was issued in 1875, appear longer, separate publications consisting of monographs (occasionally in several parts) and volumes in which are collected works on related subjects. Bulletins are either octavo or quarto in size, depending on the needs of the presentation. Since 1902, papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum have been published in the Bulletin series under the heading Contributions from the United States National Herbarium. This work forms number 273 of the Bulletin series. Frank A.

They are well known among travelers and naturaUsts for their prodigious roars, which can be heard for very long distances. The voice-producing organs have been extensively studied in the past. The pertinent bibUography can be found in the sunmiary account of Starck and Schneider (1960) and the recent study by Kelemen and Sade (1960). Schon (1964a) added further information about the pharyngolingual musculature of this animal and emphasized certain functional aspects of these structures. The muscular system of the whole animal was investigated by Santi Sirena (1871), who compared it with man, the great apes, and some catarrhine monkeys; unfortunately, this work has remained little known among modern students of primate anatomy. Sirena used three specimens preserved in alcohol. They were tentatively classified as Mycetes fuscus, a synonym for the accepted name Alouatta fnsca (Hershkovitz, 1964). Two were males, but Sirena could not ascertain the sex of the other animal because its genito-urinary organs had been removed. Each one had fourteen pairs of ribs, and at least one was an adult. The purpose of my research was to compare the entire muscular system of Alouatta with that of the spider, woolly, and woolly spider monkeys, on the one hand, and the capuchin on the other. All of these animals have prehensile tails. The howler is usually grouped with Ateles, Lagothrix, and Brachyteles as a brachiator (Erikson, 1963) or as a semibrachiator (Ashton and Oxnard, 1963). Cehus is classified as a chmber (Erikson, 1963) or as a quadruped (Ashton and Oxnard, 1963). It is hoped that by contrasting the differences and similarities between the howUng monkey and the other four, the muscular adap- 1 2 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 2 73 tations of Alouatta which have permitted this genus to follow its own evolutionary path will become evident. Four enbaimed specimens of the red howling monkey (Alouatta seniculus) were dissected under an Aloe Dazor fluorescent lamp with a magnifier head. Three were adult males, two from central (Guarico State) Venezuela, and one from eastern (Delta Amacuro Territory) Venezuela. The adult female was obtained through animal dealers centered in Leticia, Colombia. In addition, the masticatory and palatine muscles on the severed heads of two young adult females and one adult male from central Venezuela were studied. The ventral neck muscles were also observed in this male. It was not possible to observe the facial and dorsal trunk muscles in the female because they had been damaged while removing the brain and spinal cord. In the following account all this information has been pulled together. Variations are indicated wherever present. The data are organized according to a sUghtly modified version of a scheme developed by W. L. Straus, Jr. (unpublished), which is based on his own experience and on the previous work of A. B. Howell (1936, 1939). The recently approved Nomina Anatomica (1966) has been employed, but other commonly known anatomical terms have occasionally been used. To facilitate the comparison of the facial musculature of the howler with that of the Atelinae and Cehus, I have adhered to the terminology used by Schreiber (1928) and Huber (1930, 1931, 1933). It was found that some former students called their specimens by names accepted today only as synonyms. These are followed in this text by a parenthesis containing the name which is now accepted. In this work every muscle is first described and comments are added about observations made by other authors on the same structure of Alouatta. This is followed by the innervation and inferences about the function. The latter were based on the top- ographical arrangement and on what is presumed to be the action of the particular muscle in man or other primates (Howell and Straus, 1933). Finally, the comparative anatomy is reviewed. Sometimes groups of muscles are treated together in relation to functional and comparative aspects. This work is based on the dissertation presented by the author to the Graduate Board of the Johns Hopkins University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, June 1966. It was aided in part by a training grant from the National Institutes of Health. I wish to express my appreciation to Dr. W. L. Straus, Jr., De- partment of Anatomy, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, for his guidance and indispensable advice, and to Dr. D. Bodian, Chairman of that Department, who arranged for financial support. MUSCULAR SYSTEM OF THE RED HOWLING MONKEY 3 The collaboration of Drs. G. Bergold and L.

Kimmerer, Mrs. P. Spencer, and Mrs. O. Schon helped in typing the manuscript. Muscles of the Head Trigeminal Group M. temporalis: It is an extensive but not very thick triangular muscle whose base corresponds to the linea temporalis and lambdoid crest, the apex to the insertion on the mandible (fig. 1). The linea is more marked in older individuals of both sexes where it is seen as a long, sharp ridge extending from about the middle of the lambdoid crest to the superciliary arch. Origin of the muscle is by fleshy fibers from (1) the back of the orbit on the facies temporalis of the alisphenoid and frontaUs. A crest which follows the sphenomalar articulation is occasionally seen at the point of attachment of these fibers; (2) the entire medial waU of the temporal fossa where its fibers ascend to the temporal line; (3) the lambdoid crest; and (4) the cranial side of the transverse root of the zygoma. Finally, (5) many bundles come from the caudal half of the inner surface of the temporal aponeurosis and also invade the jugal arch on its deep aspect.

  • Selecting Different Approaches for Palate and Pharynx Surgery
    SPECIAL ISSUE 4: INVITED ARTICLE Selecting Different Approaches for Palate and Pharynx Surgery: Palatopharyngeal Arch Staging System Rodolfo Lugo-Saldaña1 , Karina Saldívar-Ponce2 , Irina González-Sáez3 , Daniela Hernández-Sirit4 , Patricia Mireles-García5 ABSTRACT The examination of the anatomical structures involved in the upper airway collapse in patients with the obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a key for integrated evaluation of patients. Our proposal is for a noninvasive classification system that guides us about the presence of anatomical differences between the palatopharyngeal muscle (PFM). The functions of the PFM are narrowing the isthmus, descending the palate, and raising the larynx during swallowing; these characteristics give the PFM a special role in the collapse of the lateral pharyngeal wall. Complete knowledge of the anatomy and classification of different variants can guide us to choose the appropriate surgical procedures for the lateral wall collapse. Until now there is not a consensus about description of the trajectory or anatomical variants of the PFM into oropharynx, the distance between both muscles, and the muscle tone. Here we also present the relationship between the lateral wall surgeries currently available (lateral pharyngoplasty by Cahali, expansion sphincteroplasty by Pang, relocation pharyngoplasty by Li, Roman blinds pharyngoplasty by Mantovani, and barbed sutures pharyngoplasty by Vicini) with the proposed classification of the palatopharyngeal arch staging system (PASS).

  • Iliopsoas Tendonitis/Bursitis Exercises
    ILIOPSOAS TENDONITIS / BURSITIS What is the Iliopsoas and Bursa? The iliopsoas is a muscle that runs from your lower back through the pelvis to attach to a small bump (the lesser trochanter) on the top portion of the thighbone near your groin. This muscle has the important job of helping to bend the hip—it helps you to lift your leg when going up and down stairs or to start getting out of a car. A fluid-filled sac (bursa) helps to protect and allow the tendon to glide during these movements. The iliopsoas tendon can become inflamed or overworked during repetitive activities. The tendon can also become irritated after hip replacement surgery. Signs and Symptoms Iliopsoas issues may feel like “a pulled groin muscle”. The main symptom is usually a catch during certain movements such as when trying to put on socks or rising from a seated position. You may find yourself leading with your other leg when going up the stairs to avoid lifting the painful leg. The pain may extend from the groin to the inside of the thigh area. Snapping or clicking within the front of the hip can also be experienced. Do not worry this is not your hip trying to pop out of socket but it is usually the iliopsoas tendon rubbing over the hip joint or pelvis. Treatment Conservative treatment in the form of stretching and strengthening usually helps with the majority of patients with iliopsoas bursitis. This issue is the result of soft tissue inflammation, therefore rest, ice, anti- inflammatory medications, physical therapy exercises, and/or injections are effective treatment options.

More than half of people suffer from LBP [1]. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of gastrocnemius muscle stretching in the treatment of chronic low back pain. Methods: Forty pa- tients with chronic low back pain, ages ranging from 25 to 40 years, were recruited and divided randomly into two groups. The control group followed a physical therapy program that included stretching exercises for back, hamstring and iliopsoas muscles. Strengthening exercises for abdo- minal muscle and postural instructions for activities of daily living were also performed. The ex- perimental group followed the same control-group exercises with the addition of stretching exer- cises for gastrocnemius muscles.
