muscles Flashcards
masseter origin
zygomatic arch
(inferior and emdial
masseter insertion
lateral surface of rami and angle of mandible
masseter action/movement
elevates mandible, closes teeth together with force
temporalis origin
temporal fossae
temporalis insertion
coronoid process, anteror border of ramus, and temporal crest
temporalis action
anterior(vertical) - elevate/close and position mandible
posterior (more horizontal)- retrude/pull back and position mandible
medial pterygoid origin
pterygoid fossa on spenoid and tuberosity
medial pterygoid insertion
medial angle on mandible
medial pterygoid action
elevate/close mandible
lateral pterygoid origin
lateral pterygoid plate of sphenoid and greater wing and infratemporal of sphenoid
lateral pterygoid insertion
pterygoid fovea on neck of condyle and anterior part of articular disc and capsuleon mandible
lateral pterygoid action
both - protrude and depress/open mandible
one - lateral toward one side (left lateral pterygoid muscle moves mandible to the right)
infrahyoid group
attaches from hyoid bone down to the sternum or clavicle
suprahyoid group
attaches at hyoid bone up to the mandible
infra and suprahyoid groups together action
retrude and depress mandible
