EMAPA:25138 AS temporalis musculus temporalis The division of the adductor mandibulae in the various lines of tetrapod evolution correlates with divergences in their methods of feeding. (...) As the jaws become stronger and their movements more complex in the line of evolution toward mammals, the adductor complex becomes divided into several distinct muscles (temporalis, masseter, pterygoideus, tensor tympani, tensor veli palati).[well established][VHOG] temporalis muscle Pharyngeal arch 1 muscle that is innervated by the deep temporal nerves and attaches to the wall of the braincase and mandible.[FEED] EHDAA2:0002001 FMA:49006 musculus temporalis VHOG:0000929 MA:0002390 Wikipedia:Temporal_muscle UBERON:0001598 MESH:D013703 NCIT:C33743 uberon SCTID:181739008 jaw adductor muscle GAID:148 masticatory muscle
