Identification of motoneurons innervating the tensor tympani muscle in the rabbit: a retrograde horseradish peroxidase study. 1984

O Takahashi, and N Mizuno, and A Mitani, and Y Takeuchi, and R Matsushima

After injecting horseradish peroxidase into the tensor tympani muscle in the rabbit, neuronal cell bodies labeled retrogradely with the enzyme were seen in the ventrolateral regions of the pontine tegmentum. These tensor tympani motoneurons were located in the 'nucleus n' as well as in the rostrodorsal part of the medial 'cell group k' of Meessen and Olszewski [4].

D011149 Pons The front part of the hindbrain (RHOMBENCEPHALON) that lies between the MEDULLA and the midbrain (MESENCEPHALON) ventral to the cerebellum. It is composed of two parts, the dorsal and the ventral. The pons serves as a relay station for neural pathways between the CEREBELLUM to the CEREBRUM.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D013719 Tensor Tympani A short muscle that arises from the pharyngotympanic tube (EUSTACHIAN TUBE) and inserts into the handle of the MALLEUS. This muscle pulls the handle medially thus controlling the tension and movement of TYMPANIC MEMBRANE. Tensor Tympanus,Tympani, Tensor,Tympanus, Tensor
D014278 Trigeminal Nuclei Nuclei of the trigeminal nerve situated in the brain stem. They include the nucleus of the spinal trigeminal tract (TRIGEMINAL NUCLEUS, SPINAL), the principal sensory nucleus, the mesencephalic nucleus, and the motor nucleus.

D014432 Tympanic Membrane An oval semitransparent membrane separating the external EAR CANAL from the tympanic cavity (EAR, MIDDLE). It contains three layers: the skin of the external ear canal; the core of radially and circularly arranged collagen fibers; and the MUCOSA of the middle ear. Eardrum,Eardrums,Membrane, Tympanic,Membranes, Tympanic,Tympanic Membranes
