Abstract
This study of the masticatory muscles of the primate showed that the temporal muscle contained 107 muscle spindles, 45 in the horizontal portion and 62 in the vertical portion; the masseter muscle contained 70, 58 in the profundus portion and 12 in the superficial portion; the medial pterygoid muscle contained 15; the lateral pterygoid muscle contained 6; and the zygomaticomandibular muscle contained 9. The muscle spindles were located around the coronoid process and mandibular ramus.Keywords
