[Functional morphology of the maxillo-mandibular apparatus of the mini-Lewe minipig. 2. Structure of the masticatory muscles of adult animals].
The masseter muscle is the most powerfully developed of the jaw muscles in the miniature pig MINI-LEWE. Its internal skeleton contains 5 Sehnenspiegel. The zygomatico-mandibular muscle acts as a link between the masseter and temporal muscles. The pinnate structure of the temporal muscle results from the internal tendons, which attach to the coronoid process. The medial pterygoid muscle with its 7 Sehnenspiegel has the most complex pinnate structure. The lateral pterygoid muscle has small tendinous slips only in the regions of its origin and attachment.
