Histochemical examination of the dorsorostral quadrant of the rat snout revealed superficial and deep muscles that are involved in whisking, sniffing, and airflow control. The part of M. nasolabialis profundus that acts as an intrinsic (follicular) muscle to facilitate protraction and translation of the vibrissae is described. An intraturbinate and selected rostral-most nasal muscles that can influence major routs of inspiratory airflow and rhinarial touch through their control of nostril configuration, atrioturbinate and rhinarium position, were revealed.
对大鼠鼻背部的组织化学检查显示,有参与 whisking、sniffing 和气流控制的浅层和深层肌肉。描述了作为内在(滤泡)肌肉的深部鼻唇肌,以促进触须的牵引和平移。揭示了鼻甲内和选定的最前鼻内肌肉,它们可以通过控制鼻孔形态、鼻甲和鼻穹窿的位置来影响吸气气流的主要路径和鼻黏膜的触觉。
