Yes, both the medial pterygoid and masseter muscles are muscles of mastication. The masseter is primarily responsible for elevating the mandible, contributing to chewing. The medial pterygoid also assists in elevating the mandible and allows for side-to-side movement during chewing. Together, these muscles play a crucial role in the process of mastication.
