Voorbeelden van pterygoid

• This structure resembles the posterior face of the inner part of the ascending ramus of the pterygoid in brachyopoids.

• Anterolaterally, the epipterygoids (ep) form a pair of pillars extending from the dorsal surface of the pterygoid ventrally, and contact the parietal dorsally.

• Part of the pterygoid overlaps and is fused to the anteromedial end of the pterygoid process of the left quadrate.

• The developing superior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle attaches to the anterior portion of the fetal disk.

• It also contains the submandibular and parotid salivary gland as well as the muscles of mastication (the masseter, pterygoid, and temporalis muscles).

• The eusuchians continued this process with the interior nostrils now opening through an aperture in the pterygoid bones.

• The quadrate bone has on its front edge a large wing-like expansion, touching the pterygoid.

• The lateral wing of the pterygoid is incompletely and variably ossified.

• They also have a deep notch in the pterygoid bone of the palate.

• The mandible is moved primary by the four muscles of mastication: the masseter, medial pterygoid, lateral pterygoid and the temporalis.

• For the mouth to close it requires the following muscles: the masseter, temporalis, and medial pterygoid muscle.

• The auditory bullae are large and dense but, there are no associated pterygoid fossae or air sinuses.

• Also, there are four extensions from the body of the buccal fat pad: the sublevator, the melolabial, the buccal, and the pterygoid.

• This nerve travels through the pterygoid canal to the pterygopalatine ganglion.

• They also have a pterygoid bone that articulates with the palatine by means of a joint.
