Front Back
Name the 4 muscles of mastication
Masseter, temporalis, medial pterygoid, lateral pterygoid
Name the origin/insertion of the masseter
Origin: zygomatic archinsertion: lateral surface of ramus of mandible including the angle of the mandible
Name the action and innervation of the masseter
Action: powerful elevator of the mandibleinnervation: mandibular division of trigeminal
Name the origin and insertion of the temporalis muscle
Origin: the entire temporal fossainsertion: the coronoid process of the mandible
Name the action and innervation of the temporalis muscle
Action: retraction and elevation of the mandibleinnervation: mandibular division of trigeminal
Name the origin and insertion of the Medial Pterygoid muscle
Origin: medial surface of the lateral pterygoid plateinsertion: the internal surface of the angle of the mandible-also below and behind the mandibular foramen
Name the action and innervation of the Medial Pterygoid muscle
Action: elevates the mandible and assists in protrusion and lateral movements (though it's not it's primary function...see the lateral pterygoid)Innervation: mandibular division of trigeminal
Name the origin and insertion of the Lateral Pterygoid muscle
Origin: superior head from the inferior surface of the greater wing of the sphenoidInferior head from the lateral surface of the lateral pterygoid plateinsertion: anterior surface of the condylar neck/some fibers insert on the anterior surface of the TMJ capsule
Name the action and innervation of the Lateral Pterygoid muscle
Action: opens the mouth by depressing the mandible. when both sides contract, brings lower jaw forward (protrusion). If only one side contracts, it causes a lateral shift to the opposite sideInnervation: mandibular division of trigeminal
Name the accessory muscles of mastication (8 within 2 groups).
Suprahyoids: Digastric, Geniohyoid, Mylohyoid, StylohyoidInfrahyoids: Sternohyoid, Omohyoid, Sternothyroid, Thyrohyoid
Name the four muscles within the group called the suprahyoids
Digastric, Geniohyoid, Mylohyoid, Stylohyoid
Name the four muscles within the group called the infrahyoids
Sternohyoid, Omohyoid, Sternothyroid, Thyrohyoid
Name the origin and insertion of the Digastric muscle (both bellies)
Origin of posterior belly: mastoid process of temporal boneInsertion of posterior belly: the hyoid bone Origin of anterior belly: the hyoid boneInsertion of the anterior belly: the digastric fossa of the mandible
Name the action and innervation of the Digastric muscle (both bellies if different)
Action: elevates hyoid or depresses the mandible if the hyoid is held in place by the infrahyoid muscles: Innervation: Anterior belly by the trigeminal (mylohyoid branch)Posterior belly by the facial nerve (posterior digastric branch)`
Name the origin and insertion of the Sternothyroid muscle
Origin: sternumInsertion: thyroid cartilage
