Anatomical basis of lingual hydrostatic deformation
Gilbert, R. J.; Napadow, Vitaly J.; Gaige, Terry A.; Wedeen, Van Jay (The Company of Biologists, 2007)The mammalian tongue is believed to fall into a class of organs known as muscular hydrostats, organs for which muscle contraction both generates and provides the skeletal support for motion. We propose that the myoarchitecture ... -
