Resumo(s)
The differentiation of the first reptiles with mammalian characteristics began 300 million years ago. With a few advantages over the classical form of reptile, including increased agility, reptiles evolved giving rise to mammals. In morphological terms, the biggest change seen in relation to their relatives reptiles occurred with the reformulation of the jaw bones. This change enabled the establishment of more powerful muscles, which allowed the prolonged chewing and the evolution of teeth with specific specialized functions. The appearance of these teeth with different functions allowed the evolution to a more efficient processing of food. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is defined as the point between the skull and jaw, allowing the free movement during mastication, speech and swallowing. The anatomical knowledge of adjacent structures by reviewing the literature, allowed us to establish a comparison between the omnivores (man), carnivore (dog) and herbivorous (beef). The objective of this dissertation was to conduct a comparative study of the species mentioned and understand the anatomical differences in the masticatory system
