The depressor mandibularis is a muscle located in the face, primarily involved in the movement of the jaw. It originates from the mandible and functions to lower or depress the lower jaw, assisting in actions like chewing and speaking. This muscle is part of the broader group of muscles responsible for mastication and facial expression. It is not commonly referenced in anatomy texts, making it less well-known compared to other jaw muscles.
Ecsenius mandibularis was created in 1923.
Dolichognatha mandibularis was created in 1894.
