MUSCLES OF
MASTICATION

INTRODUCTION
![Page 3: Muscles of mastication](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561b8d2d8b42a9f2f8b4b45/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The process by which food is crushed and ground by teeth
The first step of digestion
Increases the surface area of food to allow more efficient breakdown by enzymes
Food after swallowing is called BOLUS
MASTICATION OR CHEWING
![Page 4: Muscles of mastication](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561b8d2d8b42a9f2f8b4b45/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Mastication is the repetitive sequence of jaw opening and closing with a profile in the vertical plane called CHEWING CYCLE.
The CHEWING CYCLE
THREE PHASES:
1. OPENING PHASEthe mouth is opened
and the mandible is depressed
![Page 5: Muscles of mastication](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561b8d2d8b42a9f2f8b4b45/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
2. CLOSING PHASE-the mandible is
raised towards the maxilla
3. OCCLUSAL OR INTERCUSPAL PHASE
-the mandible is stationary and the teeth from both upper and lower arches approximate

The Muscles of Mastication
COMMON CHARACTERISITICS:1. All are inserted to the mandible2. All are innervated by the mandibular
division of the trigeminal nerve3. All are concerned un biting and chewing
FUNCTIONS:1. To move the mandible2. To secure then stabilize the mandibular
positions3. To determine the direction of mandibular
movements

It is a flat quadrangular muscle, partly tendinous, partly fleshy.
It overlies the lateral surface of the mandibular ramus.
MASSETER MUSCLE
![Page 8: Muscles of mastication](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561b8d2d8b42a9f2f8b4b45/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Superficial part ORIGIN: maxillary process of zygomatic bone and anterior 2/3 of the zygomatic process of the maxillaINSERTION: angle of the mandible and posterior part of ramus
Deep part ORIGIN: medial aspect of the zygomatic archINSERTION: central and upper part of ramus as high as the coronoid
ACTION: elevate the jaw, with the superficial fibers causing protraction
![Page 9: Muscles of mastication](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561b8d2d8b42a9f2f8b4b45/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
TEMPORALIS MUSCLE
It is a large, fan-shaped muscle at the sides of the head.
![Page 10: Muscles of mastication](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561b8d2d8b42a9f2f8b4b45/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ACTION: anterior fibers elevate the mandible, while the posterior fibers retract the mandible
ORIGIN: the floor of temporal fossa and temporal fascia
COURSE: anterior fibers run vertically downwards while the posterior fibers are almost horizontal in position
INSERTION: the apex and deep surface of the coronoid process and along the anterior border of the ramus
![Page 11: Muscles of mastication](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561b8d2d8b42a9f2f8b4b45/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
LATERAL (or EXTERNAL) PTERGOID
MUSCLEIt is a thick and
triangular muscle with two heads.
It is the muscle of mastication that occupy primarily a horizontal position.
![Page 12: Muscles of mastication](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561b8d2d8b42a9f2f8b4b45/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ORIGIN: Superior portion – infratemporal surface of greater wing of sphenoid. Inferior portion – lateral surface of lateral pterygoid plate
INSERTION: fibers a re directed laterally and backwards into the front of the pteygoi plate
ACTION: depress, proturude and move the mandible from side to side
![Page 13: Muscles of mastication](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561b8d2d8b42a9f2f8b4b45/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
MEDIAL (or INTERNAL) PTERYGOID MUSCLE
It is almost a mirror-like image of the masseter muscle.
It is rhomboidal and runs practically in the same direction on the inner surface of the mandible
![Page 14: Muscles of mastication](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561b8d2d8b42a9f2f8b4b45/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
ORIGIN: medial surface of lateral pterygoid plate, the posterior surface of the tubercle of palatine bone and tuberosity of maxilla
INSERTION: pterygoid tuberosity
ACTION: elevates and protracts the mandible. It also moves the jaw from side to side when acting singly.

SPHENOMANDIBULAR MUSCLE
This is one a part of the accessory ligament of TMJ, now regarded as the 5th muscle of mastication. It run medial to the TMJ

ORIGIN: spine of sphenoid bone at the base of the skull
INSERTION: lingula on the mesial side of the ramus
