Mandible measurements in aspect of some muscles attachment.
The paper deals with a part of anatomical research in aspect of clinical evaluation of lowering mandible muscles attachments (mylohyoid m, digastric m, geniohyoid m.) and genioglossus muscle. The research was conducted on 183 adult males and 117 females crania. The variance analysis of Tukey's revealed, that crania traits established on the basis of statistical parameters of breadth-length index, and visceral cranium height-breadth index, are significant. In order to establish statistical characteristics of examined traits, including into research sexual dimorphism and bilateral differences is also very important.
