The external (lateral) pterygoid muscle has two primary functions: it assists in depressing the mandible (opening the mouth) and in moving the mandible forward (protrusion). This dual function distinguishes it from other muscles of mastication, which primarily elevate the mandible.

These form specialized fibres of the heart and are supposed to be terminal filaments of bundle of His. They are placed beneath the endocardium and intervene between it and the myocardium.

Anatomy

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea occurs when there is a leak of CSF through the nasal cavity, often due to a defect in the skull base. The ethmoid bone is the most common site for such leaks because of its thin structure and proximity to the nasal cavity.

The muscle least related to the pterygomandibular raphe is the lateral pterygoid. The pterygomandibular raphe primarily connects the superior pharyngeal constrictor and the buccinator muscles, while the medial and lateral pterygoid muscles are involved in the movement of the jaw but do not have a direct attachment to the raphe. Here’s a breakdown of the relationships:

Muscle Relationships to the Pterygomandibular Raphe

  • Superior Pharyngeal Constrictor:
    • Attaches to the posterior margin of the pterygomandibular raphe.

    • Plays a role in swallowing and constricting the pharynx.

  • Medial Pterygoid:
    • While not directly attached, it is located near the pterygomandibular raphe and contributes to jaw movement.

  • Lateral Pterygoid:
    • Least related to the pterygomandibular raphe.

    • Primarily involved in moving the jaw forward and side to side, with no direct attachment to the raphe.

  • Buccinator:
    • Attaches to the anterior margin of the pterygomandibular raphe.

    • Important for chewing and keeping food between the teeth.
