[Control cycles of mandibular movements as a "slow-reflex" model].

The neuromuscular gearing of mandibular movements is of complex nature. In this Context of a feedback system peripherical afferent stimuli represent the input, where as the efferent motoric stimuli the output. The pyramidal, extrapyramidal system and the influence of the cerebellum is discussed. The mandibular movement follows a slow reflex pattern.
