Extended Data Fig. 9: Left (working side) temporomandibular joint rotations and mean muscle lengths.
From: Rolling of the jaw is essential for mammalian chewing and tribosphenic molar function
Euclidean distance between muscle attachment sites as determined on the basis of contrast-enhanced computed-tomography scans (means taken for all fibres modelled per muscle), for a sequence of individual 1 eating wax worms. Representative of two trials from one opossum; muscle fibres were not reconstructed for individual 2. Muscle colours correspond to those in Figs. 1–3. Title of the plots matches trial name at http://xmaportal.org/webportal/.
