  1. temporalis

    The temporalis is a broad, fan-shaped muscle located on each side of the head, covering much of the temporal bone. It is one of the muscles involved in chewing and jaw movement, responsible for closing the mouth and pulling the jaw backward. Its fibers run vertically, attaching to the temporal line of the parietal bone and down to the coronoid process of the mandible. Any dysfunction of this muscle can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and issues with biting, chewing, or talking.
