The temporalis muscle is a key muscle involved in the process of mastication, or chewing. It is located on the side of the head and helps elevate and retract the mandible (jawbone), allowing for efficient biting and grinding of food.

By facilitating effective chewing, the temporalis muscle plays a role in digestion and nutrient absorption.
