What inserts on the coronoid process of the mandible?
The insertion of the temporalis muscle is on the coronoid process of the mandible.
What is the antagonist for the mandible?

What muscle inserts on the orbicularis oris for smiling?

A muscle that inserts on the greater tubercle of the humerus is most likely involved in what?
lateral rotation
What is the chewing muscle covering the angle of the mandible?
The masseter muscle is the chewing muscle covering the angle of the mandible. During bilateral contraction, the muscle elevates the mandible, raising the lower jaw.
What muscle is lateral to the ramus of the mandible?
The masseter muscle is lateral to the ramus of the mandible.
What is an attachment site for the temporalis?
The attachment site for the temporalis muscle is the coronoid process of the mandible. This muscle originates from the temporal fossa of the skull and inserts at the coronoid process, allowing it to participate in actions like elevating and retracting the mandible during activities such as chewing and speaking.
What muscle elevates the mandible in the human and cat?
the masseter muscle
The temporalis acts to do what?
The temporalis muscle acts to elevate and retract the mandible (lower jaw) during the process of chewing. It is one of the main muscles involved in mastication (chewing) and helps in closing the mouth during jaw movements.
What muscle Protrudes the mandible?
