48. Muscle - origin- several different places on sphenoid - insertion- condyle - near TMJ - action- protrudes and lateral deviation of mandible - fibers run horizontally






49. Filters toxins and other foreign bodies out of body - typically green in diagrams - has valve system similar to veins






50. Zygomatic process of temporal bone - temporal process of zygomatic bone - maxillary process of zygomatic bone - zygomatic process of maxillary bone
