temporalis, masseter, lateral pterygoid, medial pterygoid
temporalis origin
temporal fossa, inferior temporal line
temporalis insertion

**NOT attaches to zygomatic arch; courses deep
temporalis innervation
V3
temporalis action
elevate and retract mandible
masseter origin
zygomatic arch
masseter insertion
angle of mandible and ramus
masseter innervation
V3
masseter action
elevate and protract the mandible
lateral pterygoid origin
Lateral surface of Lateral pterygoid plate; infratemporal crest
lateral pterygoid insertion
TMJ; pterygoid fovea
lateral pterygoid innervation
V3
lateral pterygoid action
protract and depress mandible; lateral movement; swings to contralateral side
medial pterygoid origin
