4. Insertion of temporalis coronoid process of mandible

5. Mandibluar movement of temporalis elevation of mandible (jaw closing)

retraction of mandible (jaw moving backward)

6. Mandibular movement of lateral pterygoid inferior head: slight depression of mandible (jaw opening)

one muscle: lateral deviation of mandible (shift jaw to opposite side)

both muscles: protrusion of mandible (lower jaw forward)
