NEURAL REGULATION OF MASTICATORY FUNCTION AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE VIOLATION OF THE CHEWING PROCESS

The article describes the neural regulation of the chewing function and its influence on the violation of the chewing process. The central and peripheral mechanisms of the nervous regulation of the chewing function. The large role of the trigeminal nerve, the sensory fibers of which provide signals from the fields of organs and tissues of the oral cavity and muscle spindles of the masticatory muscles. The violation of the neural regulation of this mechanism leads to pathologies of the organ's oral cavity and violations of the chewing process.
