I've been told numerous times by a a Professor of oral Physiology that the Lateral Pterygoid is not a jaw opening muscle. In that it doesn't actively contract to open the jaw, it merely acts during the process of opening, started by "true" jaw openers such as the Anterior Belly Of the Digastric muscle, the Mylohyoid and the Geniohyoid muscles [[Special:Contributions/82.41.101.178|82.41.101.178]] ([[User talk:82.41.101.178|talk]]) 20:51, 8 December 2007 (UTC) |
