Temporalis origin

* originates from the temporal fossa (on head).Also originates from the facia (dense connective tissue)

Temporalis Insertion


internal over the coronoid process but is also on exterior side, too (makes coronoid process pointy).


also inserts into the anterior margin of mandibular ramus

Temporalis: Primary and secondary actions

Primary: elevation


Secondary: retrude, side to side grinding

Masseter origin

zygomatic arch

masseter insertion

external ramus

masseter primary and secondary actions

primary: elevation


secondary: protrude, retrude

lateral pterygoid origin

originates from lateral side of lateral pterygoid plate (sphenoid bone)

lateral pterygoid insertion


inserts internal to the pterygoid fovea the neck of the mandible, also articular disc of the TMJ

lateral pterygoid primary and secondary actions

primary: protrusion


secondary: grinding, depression

Medial pterygoid origin


originates from medial side of the lateral pterygoid plate (sphenoid bone) and from maxillary tuberosity (near upper wisdom tooth)

Medial pterygoid insertion


-never external, inserts into the medial side.



-internally inserts on medial ramus mandible

Medial pterygoid actions

elevation, protrusion, grinding

which muscles grind?

all except the masseter (temporalis, lateral and medial pterygoid muscle)

which muscles protrude?

Masseter, lateral pterygoid, medial pterygoid

which muscles elevate

Temporalis, masseter, medial pterygoid muscle
