Of the approximately 640 muscles in the human body, over 10% of
them are found in the craniofacial region. The craniofacial muscles
are involved in a number of crucial non-locomotor activities, and
are critical to the most basic functions of life, including vision,
taste, chewing and food manipulation, swallowing, respiration,
speech, as well as regulating facial expression and controlling
facial aperture patency. Despite their importance, the biology of
these small skeletal muscles is relatively unexplored. Only
recently have we begun to understand their unique embryonic
development and the genes that control it and characteristic
features that separate them from the skeletal muscle stereotype.
This book is the most comprehensive reference to date on
craniofacial muscle development, structure, function, and disease.
It details the state-of-the-art basic science of the craniofacial
muscles, and describes their unique response to major neuromuscular
conditions. Most importantly, the text highlights how the
craniofacial muscles are different from most skeletal muscles, and
why they have been viewed as a distinct allotype. In addition, the
text points to major gaps in our knowledge about these very
important skeletal muscles and identified key gaps in our knowledge
and areas primed for further study and discovery.
