Muscles Involved in Mastication Chewing, or mastication, is one of the important functions carried on in the mouth, and a number of muscles are involved either directly or indirectly in this activity. However, the four muscles that are primarily responsible for the forceful chewing movements of the mandible are classified by most authors as the “muscles of mastication.” These are the masseter, temporalis, lateral pterygoid, and medial pterygoid muscles. The masseter muscle is a thick…

Fact of the Day: Temporalis is one of the muscles of mastication - its function is necessary for you to be able to chew your food. Originating at the temporal lines on the parietal bone of the skull and inserting on the coronoid process of the mandible, it is responsible for elevating the mandible; raising the lower jaw.
