Temporalis fiber course
Converge and course downward (Under the zygomatic arch)
Temporalis insertion point
Front surface of the coronoid process and ramus of the mandible
Temporalis function
Upward and backward pull of the mandible. Contraction of one side results in retraction of mandible on activated side
Internal pterygoid origin

2) Lateral pterygoid plate
External pterygoid fiber course
2 origins converge and run backwards
External pterygoid insertion point
Neck of the condyle of the mandible
External pterygoid function
Condyle slides downward and forward. Contraction of one side moves front of mandible to the opposite side
Superior longitudinal origin

Inferior longitudinal function
Shortens the tongue and pulls the tongue tip downward
Vertical muscle origin
Beneath the dorsum of the tongue
Vertical muscle fiber course
Downward vertically and toward the side through the body of the tongue
Vertical muscle insertion point
Near the sides of the tongue along the lower surface
Vertical muscle function
Flattens tongue and lowers midline portions of upper tongue surface
Transverse muscle origin
Median fibrous skeleton of tongue
Transverse muscle fiber course
Lateral (side to side within the tongue)
