Experiments on anaesthetized cats are described in which the reflex effects of stimulation of the mechanoreceptors in the temporomandibular joints on the ipsilateral and contralateral mandibular muscles were studied. The effects on this reflex activity and on dynamic manidublar muscle activity of the production of temporary and permanent dysfunction of the mechanoreceptors in different regions of the joint capsule were also studied. The significance of the findings in relation to the maintenance of normal jaw posture and the disturbance of mandibular muscular function by trauma, disease, and malocclusion is discussed.
本文描述了对麻醉猫进行的实验，研究了刺激颞下颌关节中的机械感受器对同侧和对侧下颌肌肉的反射作用。还研究了关节囊不同区域机械感受器产生暂时和永久性功能障碍对这种反射活动以及动态下颌肌肉活动的影响。讨论了这些发现对于维持正常颌骨姿势以及创伤、疾病和错牙合导致下颌肌肉功能紊乱的意义。
