The medial pterygoid primarily aids in elevating the mandible and closing the jaw, while the lateral pterygoid facilitates the opening of the jaw and lateral movements, allowing for grinding and chewing food. Together, they play a crucial role in mastication by coordinating the complex movements of the jaw.
What muscles move the mandible side to side?
The primary muscles responsible for moving the mandible side to side are the lateral pterygoid and the medial pterygoid muscles. The lateral pterygoid muscle facilitates the protrusion and lateral movement of the mandible, while the medial pterygoid assists in elevating the mandible and also contributes to lateral movements. Together, these muscles enable the grinding motion necessary for chewing.
