Insertion of the Superior Head of the Lateral Pterigoid Muscle in the Human Fetuses

The lateral pterygoid muscle, more specifically its superior head, as we know, is closely related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Particularly in children, in contrast with what was observed in adults, these joints have been rarely studied, by the anatomic functional aspect, little knowing abo...
