Temporalis Muscle - Function 🦷💪

The temporalis muscle is a key muscle of mastication (chewing) and plays an important role in jaw movement.

🔹 Primary Functions:

  1. Elevation of the Mandible 🏋️‍♂️

    • Closes the jaw by pulling the mandible upward.
  2. Retraction of the Mandible 🔄

    • Pulls the mandible backward (posterior movement), helping with controlled jaw closure.
  3. Stabilization of the Mandible 🏗️

    • Works with other mastication muscles to ensure smooth and controlled jaw movements.

💡 Fun Fact:

The temporalis muscle is a fan-shaped muscle that covers the side of the skull and is one of the strongest muscles involved in chewing!

Would you like a diagram to help visualize its function? 😊
