The masticatory muscles (masseter. temporal, pterygoid, digastric, zygomaticomandibular muscles) were examined by the dissection. It was determined the superficial masseter originated from facial tubercle at the ventral to the infraorbital foramen and inserted to tuberculum on the lateral surface of the angular processs of the mandible.
