The CB origin always lay anterior to the AT origin and there was no septum or loose tissue between the two muscular laminae leading from these origins. The muscle fibers converged on a central tendinous plate in the muscle belly, which gradually became a common tendon that rounded the pterygoid hamulus before inserting into the palatine aponeurosis. Notably, secondary insertions were found on the maxillary tuber (33.6%) and\/or in the submucosal tissue near the palatoglossal arch (37.8%). Maxillary insertions were almost exclusively associated with an AT origin that was wide as or wider than the CB origin. Histological observations confirmed that the hamulus acted purely as a pulley and suggested that a connecting band to the tensor tympani had no or few functions of an intermediate tendon.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The TVP appears to act as the dilator tubae and that this function can be maintained by preserving or reconstructing the maxillary insertion during push-back surgery, even if hamulotomy is necessary.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1597\/02-049.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,9,7]],"date-time":"2004-09-07T16:49:20Z","timestamp":1094575760000},"page":"474-484","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Variations in the Tensor Veli Palatini Muscle with Special Reference to Its Origin and Insertion"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Masato","family":"Abe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Surgery, Sapporo Medical University School of Medicine, Sapporo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gen","family":"Murakami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Sapporo Medical University School of Medicine, Sapporo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Makoto","family":"Noguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Surgery, Sapporo Medical University School of Medicine, Sapporo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seiichiro","family":"Kitamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Anatomy, Tokushima University School of Dentistry, Tokushima, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kazuyuki","family":"Shimada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Anatomy, Kagoshima University School of Dentistry, Kagoshima, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gen-iku","family":"Kohama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Surgery, Sapporo Medical University School of Medicine, Sapporo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1597\/1545-1569_1998_035_0101_aasott_2.3.co_2"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","first-page":"265","volume-title":"Muscle Alive.","author":"Basmajian J.V.","year":"1985","unstructured":"BasmajianJ.V., DeLucaC.J..
