Abstract
The electrophysiologic and morphologic features of cat temporal and masseter muscles were investigated. The temporal muscle possessed a majority of type A fibers; type B and C were dominant in the masseter muscle. The temporal muscle demonstrated slower contraction speed, wider twitch duration, and earlier tetanus fusion than the masseter muscle.Keywords
