How does the maxillary angle and palate shape relate to the size of each species mouth?
The maxillary angle and palate shape are crucial in determining the mouth size and feeding adaptations of different species. A wider maxillary angle typically allows for a larger mouth opening, facilitating the consumption of larger prey or food items. Conversely, a narrower angle may indicate a smaller mouth suited for specific diets or feeding strategies. Additionally, the shape of the palate can influence the mechanical advantage of the jaw muscles, further affecting feeding efficiency and dietary preferences across species.
What term any muscle name mean slanted or at an angle?
The term that means "slanted" or "at an angle" in muscle names is "oblique." This term is commonly used in anatomy to describe muscles that are oriented at an angle to the body's midline, such as the external and internal oblique muscles of the abdomen. These muscles play essential roles in trunk rotation and lateral flexion.
Which muscles run perpendicular to one another but at angle to the long axis to the body?

Prime mover to raise the mandible?
The temporalis and masseter muscles are the primary muscles responsible for raising the mandible (lower jaw) during the process of chewing or biting. These muscles work together to produce the necessary force to close the mouth and elevate the mandible.
Which muscles enabled us to breathe?
muscles of the mouth
What is the scientific term for muscles of the mouth?
The scientific term for the muscles of the mouth is "mimetic muscles" or "facial muscles." These muscles are responsible for facial expressions and movements of the mouth, including actions like smiling, frowning, and speaking. Key muscles in this group include the orbicularis oris, buccinator, and zygomaticus.

What muscles extend the head?
Trapezius - depends on actice region and stateof other muscles; may (1) elevate, retract, depress or rotate scapula upward, (2) elevate clavicle, or (3) extend neck
Which muscles elevate and retract the mandible?
Temporalis, Masseter and the Medial Pterygoid
Can you elevate and depress your mandible?
Yes, the mandible can be elevated and depressed. Elevation occurs when the jaw closes, bringing the teeth together, primarily through the action of the masseter and temporalis muscles. Depression happens when the jaw opens, allowing the mouth to open wider, facilitated by the digastric and mylohyoid muscles. These movements are essential for functions such as chewing and speaking.

What small muscles elevate the ribs during breathing?
External intercostal muscles are the ones between the ribs that help elevate them during inspiration.
