a. Masseter muscle
gland on the side of the face, it has an origin which is partly tendinous and
partly fleshy. It arises in two parts: (1) superficially from the inferior
border of the zygomatic arch in its anterior two-thirds, and (2) more
deeply from the deep surface of the zygomatic arch in its whole length.
The superficial fibers are directed downwards and backwards towards the
angle of the mandible; the deeper fibers are directed vertically downwards.
b. Medial pterygoid muscle
It is a thick muscle of mastication. It arises from the deep head of
the lateral pterygoid plate, and from the maxillary tuberosity and inserted
of the mandible and side to side movement. Medial pterygoid muscle can
lower head. Upper head originates from infratemporal surface and crest of
greater wing of sphenoid bone and the lower head from lateral pterygoid
whole area of the temporal fossa, as well as from the temporal fascia
which covers it. Its converging fibers pass medial to the zygomatic arch.
The muscle is inserted into the deep surface and apex of the
coronoid process, and into the anterior border of the ramus of the
mandible.
The origin of the muscle is concealed by the temporal fascia. As it
passes to its insertion the muscle is concealed by the zygomatic arch, the
masseter muscle, and the coronoid process of the mandible. Its separated
maxillary artery. The masseteric nerve and vessels appear at its posterior
nerve and masseter nerve which is the branch from mandibularis nerve.
Blood vessel tissue for the joint is from artery temporalis superficialis which
