The chewing muscle of the mouth is called the masseter muscle. It is one of the main muscles used in biting and chewing food. The masseter muscle is located on the side of the face and is one of the strongest muscles in the human body.
The antagonist of the masseter muscle is the digastric muscle. It helps to open the jaw by working against the masseter muscle during swallowing and speaking.

The muscle that aids the jaw in closing is the temporalis muscle. The masseter is the muscle that primarily moves the jaw.
Mastication, or chewing, involves a total of four muscles. These muscles are the masseter, temporalis, medial pterygoid, and lateral pterygoid.
The masseter muscle is the major jaw muscle, and is able to generate more force than any other muscle in the body.
