Identify the muscles of mastication, their sources of innervation and
their major actions in chewing.

Buccinator*
Medial Pterygoid
During jaw opening the mandibular condyle and articular disc glide
anteriorly onto the temporomandibular eminence.
•This is brought about by the action of the superior head of the
lateral pterygoid muscle
The temporalis, masseter, medial pterygoid and the inferior head of
the lateral pterygoid all participate in jaw closing.
•Side-to-side grinding is produced by cooperative actions of one
masseter and the contralateral medial pterygoid.
Temporomandibular eminence
Follow the course of the major nerves supplying structures and
passing through the infratemporal fossa.
Identify the parotid, submandibular and sublingual salivary glands. Trace the course of their
innervation and follow the flow of saliva from each gland to the mouth.
