Masseteric

From this the following curious formula has been deduced: If a kilogram of dog produces eight kilograms of masseteric force, a kilogram of crocodile could produce twelve. ❋ Unknown (2003)

The nerves of the temporomandibular joint are derived from the auriculotemporal and masseteric branches of the mandibular nerve, the arteries from the superficial temporal branch of the external carotid. ❋ Unknown (1918)

It is also joined by the superior and inferior palpebral, the superior and inferior labial, the buccinator and the masseteric veins. ❋ Unknown (1918)

Thus it receives the sphenopalatine, the middle meningeal, the deep temporal, the pterygoid, masseteric, buccinator, alveolar, and some palatine veins, and a branch which communicates with the ophthalmic vein through the inferior orbital fissure. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The mandibular notch, separating the two processes, is a deep semilunar depression, and is crossed by the masseteric vessels and nerve. ❋ Unknown (1918)

It supplies the muscle, and anastomoses with the masseteric branches of the external maxillary and with the transverse facial artery. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The Masseteric Nerve (n. massetericus) passes lateralward, above the Pterygoideus externus, in front of the temporomandibular articulation, and behind the tendon of the Temporalis; it crosses the mandibular notch with the masseteric artery, to the deep surface of the Masseter, in which it ramifies nearly as far as its anterior border. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The posterior branch, of small size, is placed at the back of the temporal fossa, and sometimes arises in common with the masseteric nerve. ❋ Unknown (1918)

Its branches are the masseteric, deep temporal, buccinator, and external pterygoid. ❋ Unknown (1918)
