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. 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. |
