This is a large, broad, fan‐shaped muscle that has its origin in the temporal fossa between the superior and inferior temporal lines, which run across the parietal bone, temporal bone, and greater wing of the sphenoid, extending forwards to the temporal surface of the frontal bone. The fibres of this muscle run in various directions and converge into a tendinous insertion which runs under the zygomatic arch and inserts into the coronoid process and anterior border of the ascending ramus of the mandible (Figure 2.11).
