Nankali's Masticatory Force Systematization force of the masticatory system and discovered the differences in the produced force, which was approximately doubled. The periodontal system controls automatically the measure of mastication force in this process and the jaw elevator muscles develop the main forces used in mastication. Dr. Weber worked out that 1 cm cross section surface area of any masticatory muscle can produce approximately 10 kg force. The following average surfaces were found: temporalis - 8 cm, masseter - 7.5 cm, and medial pterygoid - 4 cm which makes a total of 19.5cm. However, this force in some people is measured up to 3900N
Muscle fatigue reticulum. Fatigue (reduced ability to generate force) may occur due to the nerve, or within the muscle cells themselves. Nerves are responsible for controlling the contraction of muscles, determining the number, sequence and force of muscular contraction. Most movements require a force far below what a muscle could potentially generate, and barring pathological nervous fatigue, is seldom an issue. But in extremely powerful contractions that are close to the upper limit of a muscle's ability to generate force, nervous fatigue (enervation), in which the nerve signal weakens, can be a limiting factor in untrained individuals. In novice strength trainers, the
