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

Copyright 2000. Muscular system of the horse There are 3 types of muscle, all found within the equine: Skeletal muscle is made up of several muscle bundles, which in turn are made up of muscle fibers. Muscle fibers have bundles of myofibrils, which are all parallel to one another, and are able to contract due to actin and myosin. Muscle is covered by a fibrous tissue called fascia, to which other muscles can attach,
