Temporalis:
-action, origin/insertion, innervation


Masseter:
-origin, insertion, action, innervation


What opens the mandible?
- can only use hyoid if its fixed, so what opens the mandible and what fixed hyoid
- summary slide

Movements of the mandible summary
-elevation, depression, protrustion, retrustion, lateral movements


Stylomandibular ligament branchial arch 1
ligaments limit inferior excursion at TMJ

TMJ

superior head of lateral attaches to articular disc

TMJ during gape before 15 degrees vs beyond

Innervation to TMJ
