Scientists discover new part of the body {What year is this? I wonder if Da Vinci diagrammed this Muscle?} . By Nicoletta Lanese published 6 days ago The newfound structure sits within the masseter, a key muscle for chewing. {Only 10,000 orthognathic surgeries per year in U.S. Should orthopedic surgeons been more observant over multiple decades} The newly discovered muscle layer runs from the back of the cheekbone to the anterior muscular process of the lower jaw. (S= superficial layer, D= deep layer, C= coronoid layer) (Image credit: Jens. C. Türp, University of Basel / UZB) Scientists recently uncovered a part of the body that had never been described before: a deep layer of muscle in the masseter, which raises the lower jaw and is critical for chewing. Modern anatomy textbooks describe the masseter muscle as having two layers, one deep and one superficial. "However, a few historical texts mention the possible existence of a third layer as well, but they are extremely inconsistent as to its position," the study authors wrote in a new report, published on Dec. 2 in the online edition of the journal Annals of Anatomy. So the team decided to check whether the prominent jaw muscle might have a hidden, super-deep layer, as the historical texts suggest. To do so, they dissected 12 human cadaver heads that had been preserved in formaldehyde; they also took CT scans of 16 "fresh" cadavers and reviewed an MRI scan from a living subject, according to the report. Through these examinations, they identified an "anatomically distinct" third layer of the masseter muscle. This deep, deep layer runs from the zygomatic process — a bony projection that forms part of the "cheek bones" and can be felt just in front of the ear — to the coronoid process — a triangular projection on the lower jawbone.

Based on the arrangement of the muscle fibers, the muscle layer likely helps stabilize the lower jaw by "elevating and retracting" the coronoid process, the team wrote in their report. And in fact, the newfound muscle layer is the only part of the masseter that can pull the jawbone backward, Mezey said.

In their paper, the team proposed that the newfound muscle layer be named "Musculus masseter pars coronidea," meaning "coronoid part of the masseter." The discovery could be important in a clinical context, because knowing about the muscle layer could help doctors to both better perform surgeries in that region of the jaw and better treat conditions involving the joint that joins the jawbone to the skull, they noted.

something to ponder...is world history very wrong? interesting same theme, different approach as everyone has their own method of reaching common prosperity and definition of such best thought was from Wang Yiwei, but why limit it to, USSR/US? In Wang’s view, people’s thinking around the definition of “advanced” has changed: The right measure is whether something is suitable or not. He cites “whole-process democracy” — a controversial concept — as an example. “We will not copy any model from the Soviet Union or the U.S.,” Wang said. “If you just copy, no one will succeed.” here the empire needs to go before common prosperity is achieved here it's Socialism for the elites, capitalism/neoliberalism for the people you know the story "free markets" and such
