Medial Pterygoid (deep)
What are the bony attachments of the temporals muscle
Temporal fossa of skull
Coronoid process of the mandible
What action would it have on the mandible when the anterior fibres of the temporalis contract
Elevates mandible
What action would it have on the mandible when the posterior fibres of the temporalis contract
Retracts mandible
What are the bony attachments of the masseter
Inferior border and medial surface of maxillary process of zygomatic bone and the zygomatic arch
Outer surface of the ramps and coronoid process of the mandible
What is the action of the Masseter
Elevates mandible
Where does the lateral pterygoid muscle attach to
The lateral surface of the lateral pterygoid plate
Where does the medial pterygoid muscle attach to
The medial surface of the medial pterygoid plate
What plate do both the Pterygoid muscles attach to
Lateral Pterygoid plate
To what part of the mandible does the medial pterygoing muscle attach
Medial Surface of ramus
When the 2 lateral pterygoing muscles contract they cause what
Protracts mandible and depresses chin
When the lateral pterygoid muscle contracts with the medial pterygoid at the same time what happens
Swings jaw to contralateral side
When the 2 medial pterygoid muscles contract what happens
With the masseter muscle they elevate mandible nd contribute to protrusion

What innervates the muscles of mastication
mandibular branch of trigeminal nerve
Define the vestibule of the oral cavity
