Muscles Involved in Mastication Chewing, or mastication, is one of the important functions carried on in the mouth, and a number of muscles are involved either directly or indirectly in this activity. However, the four muscles that are primarily responsible for the forceful chewing movements of the mandible are classified by most authors as the “muscles of mastication.” These are the masseter, temporalis, lateral pterygoid, and medial pterygoid muscles. The masseter muscle is a thick…

Mastication And Deglutition Muscles of mastication connect facial bones with the mandible. The facial bones are immobile; and the masticating muscles originate from the facial bones. The contraction of these muscles inserted into the mandible moves the mandible. The process of mastication comprises extremely complex but well-coordinated Activities of several group of muscles attached to […]
