buccinator muscle

Definitions
The buccinator is a muscle that is attached to the mandible, skin, pterygomandibular raphe and maxilla, and is innervated by Cranial Nerve VII and participates in oropharyngeal behavior. Ready for review. The attachments of this muscle vary in mammals. The modiolus is a structure (or anatomical cluster) clearly present in humans and other primates but it's presence is less certain in other mammals (see Tomo et al., 2002 - DOI 10.1002/ar.10090; Diogo et al., 2008 - doi: 10.1111/j.1469-7580.2008.00953.x; Burrows et al., 2011 - DOI 10.1002/ar.21355; Lightoller, 1940, 1942). In cats (Tomo et al., 2002) there is no attachment to the maxilla.
