  • Title: [Functional morphology of the maxillo-mandibular apparatus of the mini-Lewe minipig. 7. Intramuscular nerve ramification model of the masseter muscle of juvenile animals].
    Author: Schumacher KU, Koppe T, Schumacher B.
    Journal: Anat Anz; 1988; 165(5):371-7. PubMed ID: 3421476.
    Abstract:
    The ramification patterns are basically the same at all ages. The existing patterns of intramuscular innervation change gradually only by increasing ramification. The masseter and zygomaticomandibularis muscles are innervated jointly by branches of the massetericus nerve. The medial pterygoid muscle is supplied by 2 branches. In 3 d old animals the lateral pterygoid muscle is supplied by a single branch, but 2 branches are already present in animals aged 2 months. The temporal muscle is innervated by 5 branches.
