Intrinsic Properties of the Adult Human Mylohyoid Muscle: Neural Organization, Fiber-Type Distribution, and Myosin Heavy Chain Expression

Abstract The mylohyoid (MH) muscle plays a critical role in chewing, swallowing, respiration, and phonation. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that the functional properties of the MH are reflected by its intrinsic specializations, including the neural organization, fiber-type di...
