external pterygoids; theretraction by the simultaneous movement of the internal ptery-goids ; and the sideway movements by the alternate action of theexternal pterygoids on both sides (Fig. 52, A and B). The masticatory movement is regulated by the tactile sensibilityof the teeth and the buccal mucous membrane, and by the 156 PHYSIOLOGY CHAP. muscular sense of the muscles that come into play ; it is activatedl»y the motor roots of the third branch of the trigeminals, aided bythe hypoglossal and facial nerves. The immediate common centreof the masticatory movements, according to Schroder van derKolk, lies in the medulla oblongata; this view is not, however,supported by any definite anatomical evidence. Since the move-ment is complex and voluntary, its centre probably lies in the so-called motor zone of the cerebral cortex. In fact, the electricalexcitation of a circumscribed area in the lower lateral part of the(•( irtex of the anterior lobe of the brain in rabbits readily produces
