Figure 2


Fig. 2. Schematic summary of the movements of the entire buccal mass during a biting cycle. This summary is based on the data presented in this paper and incorporates observations from in vivo high-temporal-resolution MR images in intact, behaving animals as well as high-spatial-resolution MR images of anesthetized buccal masses. Details not visible in the MR images are based on observations of buccal masses or isolated odontophores undergoing pharamacologically induced feeding-like movements, as well as from dissections of fresh and fixed buccal masses. All illustrations are in orthographic projection. (A) Row shows a superficial lateral view of the outer buccal mass. Fiber directions of the thin, overlying I1 muscle are schematically indicated (see Fig. 12A). (B) Row shows a mid-sagittal view. (C) Row shows a dorsal view. The upper half of each panel shows a superficial dorsal view, whereas the lower half shows a view in which the radular surface and the I4 muscles are transparent, revealing the ventral structures beneath them. Columns 1-6 correspond to frames 53, 56, 60, 63, 68, 71 of sequence 3222 (respectively). The circumferential muscle shown in C2 was designated as such by Starmühlner (Starmühlner, 1956). The nomenclature for the other intrinsic muscles (I1 through I10) follows Howells (Howells, 1942) and Evans et al. (Evans et al., 1996), and the nomenclature for the extrinsic muscles (E1-E3 and E6) follows Chiel et al. (Chiel et al., 1986) and Howells (Howells, 1942). Compare with fig. 21 of Neustadter et al. (Neustadter et al., 2002b).
