Abstract:
The neuromuscular activity at the level of the stomatognathic system has a specific complexity, due to the multiple systemic functions, realizing the statistical and dynamical mandibular positions and the integration of the stomatognathic system at the level of the human body. Knowing that the neuroendocrine system represents an important factor for the over-systemic coordination of the stomatognathic muscular activity, we want to establish the implication and the neuroendocrine correlation in the stomatognathic muscular dysfunctions determined by some endocrine diseases.

Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...
Relaxation of Skeletal Muscles
When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it depolarizes the membrane and opens voltage-gated sodium channels. Sodium ions enter the cell, further depolarizing the presynaptic membrane. This depolarization causes voltage-gated calcium channels to open.
