This tutorial shows the primary muscles of mastication. The muscles of mastication are a group of muscles responsible for the chewing movement of the mandible at the temporomandibular (TMJ) joint, they enhance the process of eating, assist in grinding food, and also function to approximate the teeth[1]. The four main muscles of mastication originate from the surface of the skull and attach onto the rami of the mandible at the TMJ.
