  • Title: An HRP study of the location of the motoneurons supplying the tensor veli palatini muscle of the rabbit.
    Author: Kitamura S, Nagase Y, Nishiguchi T, Shigenaga Y.
    Journal: Ann Anat; 1992 Aug; 174(4):353-6. PubMed ID: 1416068.
    Abstract:
    Location of the motoneurons supplying the tensor veli palatini muscle of the rabbit was examined with the retrograde labeling technique following intramuscular injection of HRP. Labeled motoneurons were ipsilaterally located in the ventral or ventromedial portion of the rostral two-thirds of the motor trigeminal nucleus at the level of about 6.0 to 8.5 mm rostral to the obex. The location of the labeled motoneurons was ventromedial to the region supplying the masseter, the temporalis, and the medial pterygoid muscles and ventral to the region supplying the anterior digastric and the mylohyoid muscles, the location which coincided with the lateral pterygoid region. The labeled motoneurons were scattered around or in this region.
