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) |
