Development and growth of cranial bones and masticatory muscles in postnatal mice, assessed by roentgenographic cephalometry and histochemistry, revealed that it corresponded to the attachment of the masticatory muscles, but not necessarily to growth and development of the individual muscles. Physiological functions of the dentofacial complex correlated with development of the muscles.
