temporalis muscle
The temporalis muscle is a broad, fan-shaped muscle located on each side of the skull, primarily known for its role in chewing and biting. It is one of the muscles involved in the movement of the jaw, particularly in closing the mouth and chewing food. It originates from the temporal bone and extends to the mandible or the lower jawbone. Dysfunction or injury to this muscle can lead to problems such as jaw pain, headaches, or difficulty in moving the jaw.
