line Anterior wall - zygomatic bone -
zygomatic process of frontal bone - greater
wing of sphenoid bone Medial wall - parietal
bone, frontal bone, squamous part of
temporal bone, greater wing of sphenoid
bone Inferior - infratemporal crest

Boundaries Anterior wall - posterior surface
of maxilla - maxillary tuberosity Medial
wall - lateral pterygoid plate - pyramidal
process of palatine bone Lateral wall - inner
surface of zygomatic arch - ramus and coronoid
process Roof - infratemporal surface of
greater wing of sphenoid bone and
squamous part of temporal bone

9Muscles of mastication
Masseter muscle Temporalis muscle Medial
pterygoid muscle Lateral pterygoid muscle
10Masseter muscle
Origin superficial portion - lower border of
ant. 2/3 of zygomatic arch deep portion -
lower border of post. 1/3 of zygomatic
arch - medial surface of zygomatic
arch Insertion lateral surface of mandible
extend from basal part of coronoid process to
angle of mandible
11(No Transcript)
12Masseter muscle
Nerve supply Nerve to masseter Action -
elevation (bilateral) - retrusion
(bilateral) - ipsilateral excursion
(unilateral)
13Tempolaris muscle
Origin floor of temporal fossa Insertion
medial surface, apex, anterior and posterior
border of coronoid process superficial tendon
- anterior border of coronoid
process deep tendon - internal oblique line
14(No Transcript)
15Temporalis muscle
Nerve supply deep temporal branch
of mandibular nerve Action - resting tonus
(bilateral) - elevation (bilateral) -
retrusion (bilateral) - ipsilateral excursion
(unilateral)
16Medial pterygoid muscle
Origin superficial head - maxillary
tuberosity - lateral surface of pyramidal
process of palatine bone deep head - pterygoid
fossa - medial surface of lateral
pterygoid plate Insertion medial surface of
mandibular angle
17(No Transcript)
18Medial pterygoid muscle
Nerve supply nerve to medial pterygoid Action
- elevation (bilateral) - protrusion
(bilateral) - contralateral excursion
(unilateral)
19Lateral pterygoid muscle
Origin upper head- infratemporal surface and
infratemporal crest of greater wing
of sphenoid bone lower head - lateral surface of
lateral pterygoid plate Insertion -
anteromedial surface of articular
capsule - anterior border of articular disc -
anterior surface of mandibular neck
20(No Transcript)
21Lateral pterygoid muscle
Nerve supply nerve to lateral pterygoid Action
- protrusion (bilateral) - depression
(bilateral) - contralateral excursion
(unilateral)
