Article Synopsis
- The masticatory muscles of horses have an asymmetrical arrangement, with four muscles on the inside of the jaw compared to one major muscle, the masseter, on the outside.
- Recent research suggests that the masseter muscle has a complex structure similar to multiple individual muscles, influencing its functional diversity during chewing movements.
- Dissection of eight horse heads and evaluation of 29 skulls revealed nine distinct muscular layers within the masseter, separated by tendon plates, which could help inform future studies on the biomechanics of horse chewing.
