Mormodes buccinator is a species of orchid occurring from Chiapas to Brazil. [1] [2]
The trumpeter swan is a species of swan found in North America. The heaviest living bird native to North America, it is also the largest extant species of waterfowl, with a wingspan of 185 to 250 cm. It is the American counterpart and a close relative of the whooper swan of Eurasia, and even has been considered the same species by some authorities. By 1933, fewer than 70 wild trumpeters were known to exist, and extinction seemed imminent, until aerial surveys discovered a Pacific population of several thousand trumpeters around Alaska's Copper River. Careful reintroductions by wildlife agencies and the Trumpeter Swan Society gradually restored the North American wild population to over 46,000 birds by 2010.
The buccinator is a thin quadrilateral muscle occupying the interval between the maxilla and the mandible at the side of the face. It forms the anterior part of the cheek or the lateral wall of the oral cavity.
In human anatomy, the orbicularis oris muscle is a complex of muscles in the lips that encircles the mouth. It is a sphincter, or circular muscle, but it is actually composed of four independent quadrants that interlace and give only an appearance of circularity.
The buccinator muscle is a muscle at the side of the face.
A buccina or bucina, anglicized buccin or bucine, is a brass instrument that was used in the ancient Roman army, similar to the cornu. An aeneator who blew a buccina was called a "buccinator" or "bucinator".
The parotid duct, or Stensen duct,is a salivary duct. It is the route that saliva takes from the major salivary gland, the parotid gland, into the mouth.
The buccal nerve is a nerve in the face. It is a branch of the mandibular nerve and transmits sensory information from skin over the buccal membrane and from the second and third molar teeth. Not to be confused with the buccal branch of the facial nerve which transmits motor information to the buccinator muscle.
The buccal artery is a small artery in the head. It branches off the second part of the maxillary artery and supplies the cheek and buccinator muscle.
The buccal branches of the facial nerve, are of larger size than the rest of the branches, pass horizontally forward to be distributed below the orbit and around the mouth.
The pterygomandibular raphe is a ligamentous band of the buccopharyngeal fascia. It is attached superiorly to the pterygoid hamulus of the medial pterygoid plate, and inferiorly to the posterior end of the mylohyoid line of the mandible. It connects the buccinator muscle in front to the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle behind. It resists mandibular realignment.
The buccal space is a fascial space of the head and neck. It is a potential space in the cheek, and is paired on each side. The buccal space is superficial to the buccinator muscle and deep to the platysma muscle and the skin. The buccal space is part of the subcutaneous space, which is continuous from head to toe.
The buccinator lymph node or nodes are one or more lymph nodes placed on the Buccinator opposite the angle of the mouth.
Pristimantis buccinator is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in Peru, and possibly Brazil and Bolivia. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests.
Mormodes, abbreviated as Morm. in the horticultural trade, is a genus of approximately 70-80 species of terrestrial and epiphytic orchids native to Mexico, Central America and South America.
The facial lymph nodes comprise three groups:
Mormodes atropurpurea is a species of orchid native to Panama, Venezuela, and Brazil.
Mormodes lineata is a species of orchid occurring from Oaxaca south to Honduras.
Mormodes maculata is a species of orchid endemic to central and southern Mexico.
Metachanda mormodes is a moth species in the oecophorine tribe Metachandini. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1911. Its type locality is Mahé Island, Seychelles.
The buccinator crest is a bony crest of the human mandible, that passes from the base of the coronoid process to the area of the third molar. The alveolar border of the buccinator muscle attaches upon it.
