Morphology of the Head and Neck of the Macaque Monkey: The Muscles of Mastication and the Mandibular Division of the Trigeminal Nerve

¹ Department of Anatomy, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan

The muscles of mastication and the accessory muscles of mastication in the Macaque were found to be generally similar to those found in man; the investigator using these forms for research purposes, however, must be aware of the differences that do exist. Only by knowing the detail in the anatomy of the laboratory animal can one interpret changes produced by experimental techniques.
