... , the agamid Pseudoptrapelus sinaitus and the chameleonid Chamaeleo jacksonii. Denervation of the mandibulohyoideus muscle slips had an effect only on P. sinaitus and C. jacksonii , in which tongue protrusion or projection distance was reduced. In C. jacksonii , denervation of the M. mandibulohyoideus...
