- The Muscles of Mastication more commonly known as the muscles of the jaw consist of three muscles the Temporalis, Masseter and Pterygoid Muscles which work together to move the mandible at the Temporomandibular Joint.

Muscles of Mastication The temporalis is a big fan shaped muscle that sits in the temporal fossa and inserts onto the coronoid process of the mandible. It elevates and retracts the mandible. The masseter sits over of the ramus, and angle of the mandible and acts to elevate the mandible.

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction Pain and tenderness on palpation in the muscles of mastication, or of the joint itself (preauricular pain – pain felt just in front of the ear). Pain is the defining feature of TMD and is usually aggravated by manipulation or function, such as when chewing, clenching, or yawning, and is often worse upon waking.

longissimus capitis : a long slender muscle between the longissimus cervicis and the semispinalis capitis that arises by tendons from the upper thoracic and lower cervical vertebrae, is inserted into the posterior margin of the mastoid process, and extends the head and bends and rotates it to one side—called also trachelomastoid muscle.

Muscles of Mastication Muscles of Mastication. Mastication is the process of grinding and chewing food into smaller pieces in the oral cavity turning it into a food bolus. This mass can then be swallowed with ease and further digested as it passes along the alimentary canal.

- Trismus is defined in Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary as a tonic contraction of the muscles of mastication. In the past, this word was often used to describe the effects of tetanus, also called 'lock-jaw'.

Muscles of Mastication Origins, insertions, innervation and functions of the muscles of mastication. This is the main masticatory muscle which causes mandibular elevation and protrusion and assists the other muscles to move the mandible laterally. The masseter originates from the inferior border of the anterior two thirds of the zygomatic arch and promptly terminates at the mandibular angle and the inferior and lateral borders of the mandibular ramus.

Muscle contraction Muscle contraction is the activation of tension-generating sites within muscle fibers. In physiology, muscle contraction does not mean muscle shortening because muscle tension can be produced without changes in muscle length such as holding a heavy book or a dumbbell at the same position.hough the muscle is doing a negative amount of mechanical work, (work is being done on the muscle), chemical energy (in fat, glucose or ATP) is nevertheless consumed, although less than would be consumed during a concentric contraction of the same force.

Masseter Muscle - Function, Origin, Insertion & Innervation - Human Anatomy | Kenhub The masseter muscle is a thick, rectangular muscle of mastication. It consists of a superficial and a deep part, both originating from the zygomatic arch. The superficial part inserts on the masseteric tuberosity at the outer surface of the mandibular angle, whereas the deep part runs further dorsally to the outer surface of the mandibular ramus.

HIV in Developing Countries: A Tragedy Only Starting to Unfold Sub-Saharan Africa has been hit especially hard, with almost 70% of all HIV-infected patients living there and 90% of all maternal-fetal transmission occurring there. While the adult prevalence rate in most developed countries is less than 1%, it is 8% in sub-Saharan Africa.In most of those countries, poverty and a lack of resources make caring for HIV-infected patients and effective prevention efforts virtually impossible.n 1999, approximately 570,000 children were infected with HIV, most via maternal-fetal infection or breast milk. The vast majority of HIV-infected people, approximately 95% of the total, live in developing countries.

Muscles of mastication The muscles are: 1  The masseter (composed of the superficial and deep head). 2  The temporalis (the sphenomandibularis is considered a part of the temporalis by some sources, and a distinct muscle by others). 3  The medial pterygoid.4  The lateral pterygoid.here are four classical muscles of mastication. During mastication, three muscles of mastication (musculi masticatorii) are responsible for adduction of the jaw, and one (the lateral pterygoid) helps to abduct it.

Masseter muscle Along with the other three muscles of mastication (temporalis, medial pterygoid, and lateral pterygoid), the masseter is innervated by the anterior division of the mandibular division (V3) of the trigeminal nerve.

- By Ground Up Strength. The masseter is a jaw muscle that gets its name from the Greek work to chew. It is the major muscle of mastication (chewing) of the human jaw and serves primarily to elevate the mandible (lower jaw) while the deep tissues help to protrude (protract) it forward.

Chewing Mastication or chewing is the process by which food is crushed and ground by teeth. It is the first step of digestion, and it increases the surface area of foods to allow more efficient break down by enzymes. During the mastication process, the food is positioned by the cheek and tongue between the teeth for grinding.

Muscles of Mastication Insertion: anterior surface of neck of mandibular condyle at pterygoid fovea, a few of most superior fibers insert on capsule of TMJ. Action: inferior head depresses mandible, main action when both muscles contract brings lower jaw forward. if only one lateral pterygoid muscle contracted, lower jaw shifts to opposite side (lateral deviation)

Muscles of Mastication Aside from direct trauma the most common pathological ailment affecting the muscles of mastication is a condition known as trismus (or lockjaw). It is defined as a prolonged tonic spasm of the jaw muscles. The affected patients find it very difficult and in some cases impossible to open the mouth.

The Muscles The sternocleidomastoid (SCM) originates at two heads: the sternum and the clavicle. These two heads ascend and blend to form one thick rope-like muscle which inserts at the mastoid process of the temporal bone. When both SCM muscles contract the head is tilted.

Muscles of mastication Muscles of mastication. The muscles which are required for mastication are known as the muscles of mastication, These muscles help mainly in the movement of the mandible and not the maxilla as maxilla is an integral part of the skull and the mandible being the only movable bone in the skull.

The Muscles of Mastication There are four muscles of mastication – the masseter, temporalis, medial pterygoid and lateral pterygoid. Embryologically, the muscles of mastication develop from the first pharyngeal arch. Consequently they are innervated by a branch of the trigeminal nerve (CN V), the mandibular nerve.

muscles of mastication muscles of mastication, a group of muscles-the masseter, pterygoideus lateralis, pterygoideus medialis, and temporalis-responsible for movement of the jaws during the process of chewing. All four muscles are innervated by the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve.

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction Temporomandibular Pain and Dysfunction Syndrome – Aching in the muscles of mastication, sometimes with an occasional brief severe pain on chewing, often associated with restricted jaw movement and clicking or popping sounds.
