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
Retractor muscle of the penis Retractor muscle of the penis In some animals the male penis possesses a muscle enabling retraction into the prepuce. The retractor penis muscle occurs in marsupials and carnivorans, but it is absent in humans. A stag's penis forms an S-shaped curve when it is not erect, and is retracted into its preputial sheath by the retractor penis muscle. In Tandonia, the retractor penis inserts at the boundary between the penis and epiphallus. In stallions, the retractor penis muscle is relatively underdeveloped. The retractor muscle contracts to retract the penis into the sheath and relaxes to allow the penis to extend
