pterygoid is_a facial muscle?

[cmungall]

in EMAPA, the pterygoid (grouping for lateral and medial pterygoid) as classified as facial muscles.

facial muscles are usually defined as those that control facial expression and are innervated by the facial nerve. See

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_muscles
• UBERON:0001577 ! facial muscle

id: MFMO:0000005
name: facial muscle
comment: Term in Uberon is equivalent but the definition needs revision.
xref: obo:UBERON_0001577
intersection_of: UBERON:0001630  ! muscle organ
intersection_of: develops_from UBERON:0003066 ! branchial arch 2
intersection_of: innervated_by UBERON:0001647 ! facial nerve

We could have uberon follow the pattern in feed where we name the muscles more explicitly such as 'facial nerve muscle'. That way EMAPA's facial muscle could simply be 'muscle of part of face' without confusion... but I'm guessing the intent is to have the EMAPA class align with the traditional concept and the placement of pterygoid is a mistake.

My guess is that the EMAPA categorization is just sloppy. Pterygoid muscles
and other muscles of mastication are very rarely described as "facial"
muscles. They are only muscles of the face in the very broadest sense.

Others should be checked too:

      po EMAPA:25133 ! facial muscle 
       is_a EMAPA:25134 ! digastric
       is_a EMAPA:25135 ! masseter ***
       is_a EMAPA:25136 ! mylohyoid
       is_a EMAPA:25137 ! sterno-mastoid
       is_a EMAPA:25138 ! temporalis ***
       is_a EMAPA:25139 ! pterygoid *** 

[cmungall]

    is_a MA:0000579 ! cranial/facial muscle ***  [xref: EMAPS:3526528] <-- ? in EMAPA
        is_a MA:0003115 ! masticatory muscle
        is_a MA:0003160 ! facial muscle [xref: EMAPS:2513328] <-- facial muscle EMAPA:25133 in EMAPA

Maybe EMAPA:25133 should be associated with and relabeled as MA:0000579 ! cranial/facial muscle

[RDruzinsky]

I will go through all of the MFMO muscles.

EMAPA:35265 has been merged (retained as alt.) with EMAPA:25133.
I have not gotten around to making corresponding changes in the MA.
I can rename as cranial/facial muscle and change the xref in MA file.
I will leave MA:0003160 (without EMAPA xref) in the MA for now and
further consider (renamed as "facial nerve muscle"?) for the mouse.
